I need to pick up a new battery, does anyone have part # for the Optima that fits in a 96 GTS? Is this my best choice?

thanks

Best thing I found to do is remove your battery now and measure the opening exactly. Go to the store selling the red tops and measure the couple different sizes they have and get whichever fits.

Do you have an item # or part # for that battery?

If you are going with Sears, just ask for a group 78 diehard gold.

Hey Ulysses, If I go and ask for this battery as you say they will give the right one?

beat me to it, but yeah, part number not necessary. At one time in my illustrious career, I used to chuck and install batteries for them. When we stocked or pulled batteries, we did it by group number.
