Timmmmmy Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Hello, I have the opportunity to pick up an Optima yellow top battery at a good deal. Does anyone know which size battery will fit best in the stock tray? I'll be running a Warn M8000 winch and a CB FYI The optima web site is kind of strange... When you do a make and model search there is no comanches listed and the first year cherokees show up is 98 The recomended yellow top battery for a 98 cherokee is a OPTIMA® Batteries 8014-045 D34/78 YELLOWTOP® Starting & Deep Cycle Battery Dimnensions are Length: 10.06 in Width: 6.94 in Height:7.88 in Is this a good choice?

rmoore1031 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 My 90 XJ has a yellow top in it. I got mine on sale at advance auto. Idk if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 That is the one I had in my 91. Will work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmmmmy Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Thanks, I just wasn't sure that perticular battery would clear the hood, thought it might be to tall. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 It clears the hood just fine. The only thing that might not work is the stock tie-down. I can't remember for sure or not how I had mine held in place since it's been a few years since I had that truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I got yellow tops in both of my jeeps. An 88 manche and 96 cherokee. They fit without a problem and I reused the stock tie downs. The only thing i noticed is that they are a little small for the battery box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
