The Optima's are all one shape and too tall to fit in W123 diesels
afaik. I was in Autozone today and learned they have a Platinum line of AGM batteries. The H8-AGM will fit the W123 and cost $169. That's what I'd buy if I need a battery. No more battery acid corroding your car out!
This thing weighs 62 lbs!. The group 49 Duralast Gold weighs 53 lbs where the regular red Duralast group 49 is 42 lbs.
