34/78 group size. Maybe Optima changed case dimensions and don't recommend anymore, so check dimensions online first.

I would not spend the extra $ on a Optima.
Best battery for the $ I have found is Bosch available every other month at a great discount at Pep Boys.

Couldn't find one for my 92 from Optima or Die Hard. Haven't checked Hawker yet.

I bought the red top with the most cold cranking amps with dual posts, and it fit my 91. the yellow top should be the same. measure your battery and the space and go to the aps and see if u can measure the yellow top, if they have one sitting there.

Optima's quality control went south a few years ago when they were bought by another company.

They are not the battery they used to be.

Are you running lots of extra load? If not, I don't reckon you need anything special for an XJ. As long as it cranks, it's good in my book.
