HONDA FIT/JAZZ - GK5 - 151R to 51R - Optima Battery & Battery Tray Upgrade

My OEM battery lasted 6.5 years.
In this video I upgraded the stock 151R battery to a larger 51R battery.
Your OEM battery tray may or may not fit the 51R battery without modification.

(The fit has been known to come with similar but slightly different size battery trays. Optima is also one of the largest 51R batteries)
I tried to find a larger OEM battery tray online but they were all $40 or more. For that price I decided to give the Optima battery tray a try. Honestly I'm not sure if I can recommend the battery tray yet, given the location that it sits in the fit making the tie down bolts towards the headlight hard to reach. Looks like I'll have to keep a T-Handle allen wrench on board.
