Hi Bob,
Remember this car is going to be THE daily driver and for x-country use. I am not worried about stock appearance. I have concourse cars for that.

Subject: RE: {Chrysler 300} battery
I second Danny’s recommendation. Buy the best flooded battery you can, be it from Costco, Napa, O’Reilly’s etc. Flooded batteries look most original, are serviceable, and give the longest life. I have heard
good things about Optima, but I’ve never owned one due to the non-stock appearance, high cost, and lack of serviceability. I get about 7 years from flooded batteries in my G, and boost charge about every 3 months when the car is not driven.
The bigger battery won’t fit the hold down. Optima makes a good battery that will not tolerate overcharging which nearly all available regulators today do. I would go to Costco for a discounted Interstate flooded battery or Walmart.
My opinion. Others may vary. However I have 9 cars for a long time and have learned the hard way.

I am going to pick up an Optima Battery.
The stock unit a 27-MB-70 was 12"L x 6.75"W x 8"H.
Optima has two batteries:
- The redtop 25 has 720 CCA and is closest on width and height to the original.
- The redtop 34 has 800 CCA and is a little wider than the original which may mean the cross over hold down may not fit.
Anyone have any experience with either battery both in terms of fit or function?
