Re: Optima battery in an S6?

[geir <geir@black-hole.com>]

Jeff,
I have a Optima "Yellow Top" battery in my S4 Avant -93. I have it laying 
on the side. This is no problem as the Optima batteries has no fluid in 
them that can pour out (dry cells). You can safely put one in your car.Be 
careful though, covering the terminals so you don't get a short.
