Hey, guys. I have a couple quick questions on the Optima batteries. First of all, would there be any benefit, in car audio terms, to having one with both top and side posts? My car is not a GM, so I don't need the side terminals otherwise... Also, as the Optimas don't exactly fit my stock tray, I am considering something like this:

Any reason to be worried about the proximity of the metal hold-down to the posts? They offer an anondized metal strip as well, but I guess that's still metal :)

The only reason for the side posts other than for GM vehicles would be for low clearance hoods where aftermarket battery posts would end up getting in the way of closing the hood or ground out.
