Loosen the negative battery terminal connector, loosen the positive battery terminal connector, loosen the battery tie down, lift out the battery.
Take the new battery's top cover piece and attach it to the bottom (snaps right on to give it more height to match the stock size), put the battery in place, tighten the battery tie down, attach the positive battery terminal connector and tighten it, attach the negative battery terminal connector and tighten it.
Start the car.
With exception to the Optima cover piece attached to the bottom, these instructions apply to any battery you get. Also keep in mind that any Group 35 battery will physically fit, so long as the negative is on the left and the positive is on the right. If you get the polarity reversed, the existing cables won't reach without some serious hacking.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but does the OEM tie down fit the Optima D35? Mine doent’t seem to fit, but I forgot to attach the top cover to bottom, so hoping that fixes the issue.
