Default optima yellow 51 - need alternate size please

many of us know the roughness of the 51 optima yellows.

does anyone know for SURE which other size fits the s2k? ive had 2 in 2 years, maybe 5k miles. and i keep it charged.

ive read every possible thread on this site and others, but no definitive answers

im only considering keeping the yellow if there is an alternative size (the POS is under warranty).

THANK U

Just ditch it and go oem battery. I had a few of those yellows and they were all garbage. Now I'm running all oem batteries in both of my cars and they all carry a 5 year warranty.

thank you very much; appreciated.

but if there is an alternate optima yellow size i need that. i am willing to try one more (third) time since cost is covered.

I'd seek a premium battery just to get the lower weight. I don't give a rats @$$ about running the sound system with the engine off.

I have a generic walmart battery. Past three years I've owned the car, no problems there. how long its been in the car, before I bought it I dont know but I think the '05 marker is filled in. 6 years on a 60 dollar battery, not bad?
