I started with a Miata battery and wasn't happy with its grunt after a few months in the cold weather so I switched to an Optima Yellow which I mounted in a rear bin.

soooooooo, how are you guys getting the red/yellow tops in the bins? youd have to take the whole thing out. . . put the battery in. . . then put the bin back over the top. am i missing something?

That's where I bought mine...also bought clean looking metal case in black. As far as charge problems, I can't really say, I just installed it last weekend. I think a lot guys here are saying it's fine for a daily driver...

the pc680 gave me no problems yet. I started the car up after 3 weeks without it being started (snow sucks) up here in new york in 9 degree temps. It gave me no problems and started right up. I was pretty surprised. I think its a great batter, it small and doesnt weighs less then half the stock battery.
