I have been happy with my Optima for a few years now. No acid on the rear bumper.

I use a battery tender that I got from JonB at Partsrack.com, it keeps the battery charged even when you don't drive you're car much.

Give him a call or email him; he knows Vipers so well you'd swear he designed and built all of them himself.

Battery Tender, as above.

The battery tray attachment to the chassis varies from car to car. The Top post batteries will hit the frame on some cars, others may have room.

Use a stock battery and Tender.

Also a big believer in a battery tender. I have this connected where the battery tender cable is hooked up permanently and can be reached thru the drivers side gill. So when I charge I don't need to open the hood or door, I just reach in and connect the cord to the cable that is inside the gill.

Ditto on the Battery Tender!

Could you take a picture of this? I get a little tired of going through all that each time I get finished driving the car, and would like to see how you have yours set up.

I'll try to zap a photo or two shortly but I just saw an identical setup with photos posted here within the last few weeks. Anyone else see it and can find the link?

I also love the battery tender, but am a bit lazy. I took the battery tender and soldered a cigarette lighter plug to it. Now I just plug it into the cig. lighter and it works like a champ. Easy in, easy out!!

I'm doing the same thing, the wing nut on my car kept working loose. So I bought the adapter. Real easy when you don't have windows.
