This is an industry designation and any manufacturer's #35 will fit.

The official Optima red top number is "35 (8020-164)".

I have had an Optima red top (#35) in my Celica for about 5 years now and it's still going strong.
My Celica has a high end sound sys and the red top handels it all.

I highly recomend them and I will be replacing my Yaris' stock battery with one when the time comes.

BTW, be sure to get the (free) "height adaptor" with the red top as without it, the battery may sit too low for the hood support rod clip to function properely. The hight adator wiil bring it up to stock hight.


Here's where I got mine. Not the cheapest but, they ship free.

I agree, but would change 'any manufacturer's #35' to 'ALMOST any manufacturer's #35' ----- see my post on 'How long should an original battery last' post #59 and my post on 'Buying aftermarket battery' thread - post #7.....Wal-Mart's #35 that is supposed to fit in my Yaris doesn't fit.
