Yeah. It's because the inside of the terminals are tapered, and so are the optima's posts.So they slide right off the top. The stinger posts look a lot straighter so hopefully they will grab better. We ended up making a thin aluminum "crush sleeve" that went around the post and the terminal clamps onto that. It worked out pretty good.
