How are you supposed to know what group size battery will fit in your car. Car is an 02-04 Dodge Dakota V6. |

Put the car into autozone.com and look up battery.....
Just don't actually buy one from them cause they sell shitty optimas
That will give you the largest one that fits.... you can always put in a physically smaller one with not much work if it has more power or something. For example a size 25 odyssey verses a size 27 regular battery.

^^^Agreed. An optima yellow top from autozone was the first battery I ever bought for system related purposes. I dont know if it was just the store where I got it or all optimas in general but I was never impressed with it. |

Thats optima for ya. Only thing those yellow tops are good for is deep cycle, current capacity and discharge rate sucks. |
