Okay, switched from 6TLs to Optimas based on advice of people thatknow more than I do. As I tightened the terminals which were a perfect fit on 6TLs they kept rising! No grease on posts. required quite a lot of torque. Are Optima posts smaller or more tapered? The red rubber covers made everything more difficult. Are they really necessary if not fording? I had the adaptors to raise the optimas. If I were doing it again I would just stick with the 6TLs.
