Same one that fits the regular 914. I think it was the 34R? Recent thread on that, try a search.

Yes, I have a 34R red top in mine. You have to saw off the little tabs on the ends.
Just takes a moment or two with a hacksaw. The clamp provided with the Optima works perfectly. Skip |

If I'm correct you only need 235 cca the 34r has 800. Is it possible to run a smaller battery? I'm still reading up on optima, but I think the 25r is fine if it fits.
What made you choose 34r? Thanks to Dave and You Yes, I have a 34R red top in mine. You have to saw off the little tabs on the ends. Just takes a moment or two with a hacksaw. The clamp provided with the Optima works perfectly. Skip |

I got that size from a topic on this forum when I was hunting for a battery.
