Battery Red Top 880cca/9 10ca 78 Side Terminal

The Battery Red Top 880cca/9 10ca 78 Side Terminal from OPTIMA BATTERY is a high-performance automotive power source engineered for vehicles demanding superior starting power and electrical reliability. Built for street cars, muscle builds, and daily drivers requiring dependable cranking capability, this side-terminal design delivers the 880 cold cranking amps necessary to turn over larger or heavily modified engines in extreme conditions. Whether you're running a fuel-injected V8, turbocharged setup, or vehicle with extensive electrical accessories, this battery provides the reserve capacity to support demanding power draws.

OPTIMA's Red Top construction utilizes a unique spiral-cell design that differs from conventional flat-plate batteries, offering superior vibration resistance and cycle life critical for modified vehicles subjected to hard acceleration and rough terrain. The 880 CCA rating ensures strong performance even in cold climates or after extended periods sitting, while the 100-minute reserve capacity provides emergency electrical support if the alternator fails—a safety margin every enthusiast should have. The side-terminal connection reduces underhood clutter and allows flexible cable routing around engine bay modifications, while the compact footprint (12 x 9.5 x 13 inches) fits tight engine bays without requiring custom fabrication or relocation brackets.

This battery is ideal for builders installing aftermarket turbochargers, superchargers, or high-output electrical systems that stress factory power supplies. Hot rodders, off-road enthusiasts, and street racers benefit from its ability to support multiple fuel pumps, auxiliary fans, and winches without voltage sag. Direct bolt-in installation with proper terminal adapters ensures straightforward fitment, though confirm terminal orientation against your vehicle's existing connection before purchase to verify side-terminal compatibility with your application.
