I have an Optima Yellowtop Battery but I have a problem the + and – poles are in the opposite sides. The negative pole is not the problem, the problem is the + I can’t connect the terminal because the cable is not longer. Need suggestions! PHOTOS! If you modified your car battery please posts your photo!

Other suggestion? Use as second battery? This idea is the last thing to do, but, oh well…

Seriously? It doesn't just drop in the xB?

You could look into possibly getting bigger terminals that'd allow you to fit the wire to them...or maybe rotate the battery in the tray?

I can’t rotate the battery, the + pole it’s in the right side instead the left as the OEM battery. That’s mean the opposite side. I tried the poles extension but until now I have found nothing. Nothing in Western Auto, Pep Boys, AutoZone, local auto parts.

I can modify the terminal + wire? Anyone made that? Photos please!

Not the best solution, but they do work as long as you re-heatshrink them.

swap the wires with bigger ga.

Seriously.
I was considering getting one, but now...definitely not.
That sucks!
