I returned the first battery thinking I had the wrong size. I went and bought the
one from Walmart. Yes, I had the battery in the wrong way. The reason is
Porsche had put a red mark on the ground where it bolts to the frame. I finally
figured this out before I read Pedro's post. Thank god I didn't hook the battery
up backwards. I've read about the problems that causes (ouch). I put a label
on the ground cable so I don't make this mistake in the future. The post conectors
do have a small "+","-" on them, but is not easy to see.
I did read about taking the battery tray out and cleaning up around in there.
This is a good idea. I didn't have alot of debris in there but it's a good idea to
check the 4 drain holes and make sure they are good and clear. Mine weren't
plugged, but there was some debris in each one.
Also, I did find the web site that makes the adapter for the Optima battery.
It's Dog Motorsports. I may go this route in the future. I was considering this
as Auto Zone, O'rielly's have batterys where the cost is approaching that of
an Optima battery.
Thanks for everyones help. Pedro's board to the rescue again!
