Another OEM battery.
Was going to go with Optima Red Top but I liked $180 vs $600.
The OEM's aren't great but I suppose they get the job done.

Does Optima even make something that fits? According to their web site, they have nothing.

That could very well be the case.
I had an Optima on a previous car and remembered their price. When I needed a new battery for the Mustang, I Googled an OEM and liked the price before I could search for an Optima.

Exactly what I have weighs about 10 lbs

Those weight-averse FP engineers equipped my 2016 GT350 with a BXT-99T4 (390 CCA) battery that weighs 26.7 pounds. The direct replacement is a Motorcraft BAGM-H4 which has a higher CCA and might weigh a touch more. I suspect the 96-sized batteries are even heavier - the only reference I could find was a 2020 Motorcraft spec sheet that showed a range of 30 to 33 pounds for their various 96 size batteries. Other brands may vary.

I retired from OPTIMA and I also have an S650 that takes the H6. I bought a battery tray for a S650 and put it in my S550 so I could use the OPTIMA DH6 battery. Tray bolts in, but the top where it meets the firewall needs to be trimmed.

I just put a Motorcraft 96R in when my original was dying. OEM batteries for me have lasted longer than any aftermarket battery. Hope this one last as long in my 2018. I can live with a few more pounds, I'm not running at 10 tenths.

Same. My OEM lasted 7 years. I saw no reason to go with anything else.

same here.. they did have a motorcraft OEM with a slightly larger amperage. I have mine on a tender all winter. original lasted 6 years...

I have access to an Antigravity which I was thinking of getting or an Interstate. Your opinions?

Motor craft, great warranty and they will outlast their warranty. All my cars and trucks have motor craft, my snowplow (Expedition) has a motor craft that is eight years old and due to a ground issue has gone dead four times in the winter and has been charged back to life and as long as I disconnect the neg. cable while not in use it still starts every time no matter how cold it is. I am still using it, every week I move it to mow the lawn, and it starts right up. In the winter it can sit for a month without being started and when it snows it will start right up. I know fix the ground issue. I have always made it at least six years on every motor craft battery and will not buy anything else, $160.00 each.

I’m in the market for a GT350. How reliable are the engines? I heard that the engine will blow up.
