[SilverBulletZTS]

Zetecinside, so was I, until I put it in! It's a tight fit(battery cable length) but it goes in fine. Specs from website: Far higher power at cold and hot temperatures
Up to twice the life of other batteries
3 times the charge holding period of other batteries
15 times! more shock resistant than other batteries
Nonspillable and leakproof, even if punctured
More-constant voltage output across discharge curve
Lower internal resistance makes more power, less heat
Noncorrosive: Nonventing in normal use
Mountable in any position

I'll have to check on the part number. And I do intend to put on a bypass valve, I actually have it but need someone to put it on for me. I don't have exp. with cutting the CAI so I don't really want to mess with it. I paid $109 at Murrays. I usually don't shop there because the people there are pathetic but that's the cheapest I've seen it.

Silver, ya continue to amaze me. What is the part number on that Optima. I have been told that Optima does not make a batter for the focus.<hr></blockquote>

The reason you were told this is because the Focus has a reversed terminal design which just places the terminals in the rear of the battery instead of the front, I'm told that there will be a reverse Optima coming soon by why wait if this one fits?
