Q 1. What is the cold cranking amp (CCA) rating of the Optima Red Top RTR4.2?

A. The Optima Red Top 8003-251 is rated at 815A CCA measured to the EN standard, making it well suited to high-performance and modified engine applications that demand strong, reliable starting power.

Q 2. What are the dimensions of the Optima Red Top 8003-251 battery?

A. The battery measures 254mm in length, 175mm in width, and 200mm in height including the terminal. Please verify these dimensions against your vehicle's battery tray before ordering.

Q 3. What terminal type and polarity does the RTR4.2 use?

A. The RTR4.2 uses SAE post terminals with a standard positive-left polarity arrangement (polarity code 0, terminal type 1). Confirm your vehicle's terminal layout matches before fitment.

Q 4. Is the Optima Red Top RTR4.2 compatible with start-stop vehicles?

A. The AGM technology used in this battery supports start-stop functionality in principle; however, suitability depends on the specific vehicle. You must verify compatibility against the vehicle's battery specification label before fitting this unit.

Q 5. What hold-down type does the RTR4.2 require?

A. This battery uses hold-down type B00. Ensure your vehicle's battery mounting system is compatible with this hold-down configuration prior to installation.

Q 6. What is the capacity of the Optima Red Top 8003-251?

A. The battery has a rated capacity of 50Ah measured at the C20 discharge rate. This figure reflects the total charge the battery can deliver over a 20-hour period under standard test conditions.

Q 7. What technology does the Optima Red Top use and why does it matter?

A. The Red Top uses Optima's SpiralCell absorbed glass mat (AGM) construction, in which pure lead plates are wound in a tight spiral. This eliminates free liquid electrolyte, reduces internal resistance, and enables the high cranking output required for tuned and performance applications.

Q 8. Does the Optima Red Top RTR4.2 have an IP rating for water or dust resistance?

A. No formal IP rating is published for this product. The AGM construction means there is no free electrolyte, which offers inherent resistance to vibration and spillage, but installation in fully exposed or submerged environments is not specified by the manufacturer.

Q 9. What warranty is provided with the Optima Red Top RTR4.2?

A. The battery is covered by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of purchase. Retain proof of purchase for any warranty claim.

Q 10. How will the Optima Red Top RTR4.2 be delivered and what is the returns policy?

A. This battery is dispatched via standard parcel delivery and arrives within 1–3 working days to UK mainland addresses. A 30-day returns policy applies – contact PartsForMachines within 30 days of receipt if you need to arrange a return.
