I'm using AG terminals and the tray was custom made out of aluminum.

Good point on CCA.

 

[latapx]

So 780 CCA would be more than OEM. You should be good with that as well.

 

[latapx]

I wasn't concerned so much with the CCA as much as a less obvious change. But I guess the only part that would be of any real concern would be the HPFS getting enough juice.

edit: i saw that optima is also starting to do lifepo4 batteries. They have a few smaller ones available now but the bigger ones are still "coming soon"

HPFS??

 

[latapx]

It says 780 cranking amps.

As for the concern on HPFS, remember all the battery does is start to car. Everything after that is the alternator.

Hm. It was always my understanding that the alternator's sole purpose was to keep the battery at the proper level and all the cars systems drew from the battery.

After you start the car, you can remove the battery. Car will run perfect.
