Battery Question
After more than nine years, my OE battery needs to be replaced. I already have an Optima D51 Yellow Top that will fit spatially, but it's from a different vehicle. It has:
450 cca 575 ca 41 mh Will this suffice in the Yaris? (I'm guessing the answer is yes, but I wanted to check)

I've used way smaller batteries for years to no ill effect. They just don't have the reserve capacity as a bigger battery.

Thanks, guys.
The Optima battery I was going to put in the Yaris had the terminals too far forward, and it wouldn't fit. However, the battery from our WRX is the same size, so I used that and put the Optima in the WRX.
