It's going to be tight. I would call someone who could apply a tape measure to the actual case rather than go by their published specs. The inside dimensions of the tray are almost exactly the battery's specs.

I'll go to the store and measure it myself. Thanks.

My son has a red Optima in his GTV6 - in the garage next to my Cobra -- it measures 7 inches in height plus the posts, it is 7 inches wide, plus the side posts, and 10 inches long. It is fastened with a cross bar, and there are battery charger wires attached, so it was hard to get an absolute accurate read. As far as I can tell, a bigger issue than size will be whether it will sit securely in the ERA -- at least with my attachment. The Optima sits on tray. Best, go and look at it.
