Battery insulator for new, smaller battery?

[fhturner]

I just bought the newer Delco 75P-7YR AGM battery for my 2000 Vette, but it is about an inch narrower (9" vs. 10") than the original 78H-6YR Delco battery that's in there now. Can I reuse the foam insulator from the 78H, even though there probably will be a little "slack" in it with the new, smaller battery? If I need a new piece of insulator foam, does anyone know the part # for the smaller, 75P piece?

Thanks,
Fred

HI there,
You can simply use a batter insulator for the T10 small Blazer.
These have a 75 class battery and are all classified with a blanket.
Allthebest, c4c5

I installed an altima battery, does it need the insulator blanket. I just pulled the insulator off as that the ports for the connections were in a different location and it didn't fit tightly against the altima battery.

Just for clarity, you mean you installed an Optima battery, right (looks like a six-pack)?
