Optima Battery
I've seen multiple comments about Optima installation in a Boxster. Many saying that a longer positive cable is required with the Optima 34R. I just installed a 34R in my 2003 Boxster today. Most instructions say to mount the battery to the aftermarket plate then slide the plate to the right (driver side - you're standing in the front storage compartment) so that it slips under the lip on that end. Now tighten the left end down and connect the cables. The positive cable WON'T connect if you take this approach. Try connecting the positive cable BEFORE sliding the battery to the right. After sliding it, connect the negative cable then bolt the left end of the plate down. The positive cable is tight but it does fit!
