Optima RedTop in CLS '01-03

The official Optima website says no battery for 2001-2003 CL or CLS .
http://www.optimabatteries.com/publi...ry_search.html

Why no application for CLS?

Should I just ignore this and stick in ____ model battery?
I know a lot of you are diggin the Optima battery.

Mine needs to go under the hood.

It's not about which batt goes in which car.
It's more of what fits inside the batt location.
I have a 34/78.
As long as you get a batt that has more output then the factory batt, you will be fine.
I went to that site and they said there was none for the 2.5TL. HAH!
The 34/78 has the most cc cranking amps among the Red Tops with dual posts.

Get a Yellow Top. The Red tops often won't come back after a deep cycle.
