[Dave at Pelican Parts]

I have Optimas in both of my cars. Love 'em. The only complaint I have is that they're very heavy, and the one in the Honda is a little too big for the space it has to fit into.

I figure as long as you get one of those sealed batteries that does not leak, you'll OK. CCA minimum for the 914 is listed at something like 480. All Optimas that I know of put out well over that.

In both cars, I noticed that the starter motor cranks quicker with the Optima installed.
