@TCB it seemed the same way to me as it just slid right in like it was made for it! Heavy bugger but great mod. Nice not having to be concerned about battery issues!
-
Yes easy install just way heavier than stock
-
I got my Optima the other day but haven't had a chance to install it yet. Looking forward to one less issue to worry about, plus I'm tired of jump starting every time I want to ride.
-
Out for a ride before Christmas. Tried to start over the weekend and very weak, wouldn't turn the engine over.
Put a trickle charge on the battery for two days and still won't crank.
Reading this thread, will the Optima yellow or blue fit in a 2016.5 model or do I need the battery kit sold by vendors?
Leaning towards yellow for the second set of terminals.
Going to be 70 degrees today. Would love to go for a ride.

You will need to get the kit. Cycle Springs/Slingshot only has an install video.
-
I added cyclesprings battery holder and blue top optima. Tight fit but nice upgrade. I don't worry about a dead battery any more.
-
Plan to replace mine before spring season is here. I have the stock on trickle charge, and had the Slingshot out this past weekend without any problems. The links originally shown in this thread show out of stock. Amazon shows the blue top for just a couple bucks under $200 again, nothing cheaper. However, eBay has them Buy it now for $172.89 with free shipping. Just a heads up if anyone is looking...

Ordered the Optima yellow with the top and side terminals off of Amazon. Free shipping for me. Ordered the cycle springs battery holder as well.
Will replace stock battery and install the jumper terminal kit as part of this work as well. Will connect the two additional power wires (after market horn and wiring fuse block) to the side terminal.
Will also be adding 6 channel amp in the next few months so need the 750 amp battery.
