Has anyone found an optima that works well in battery space on 2009-current. I know factory one is a 94 but optima does not make 94.

I would measure the factory battery and find an optima that fits in the hole. It will probably be physically smaller than the stocker.

Are you replacing already for a reason or just to do it? Sound system?

Stock battery is pretty small 730 cca and as I have not had issues prefer optima as battery in there is just not big.

Optima makes an H7. Same thing as a 94R.

I don't see dates on my phone for individual posts, I wonder if that is encouraging it...

Weird that yours doesn’t show them. I have an old iPhone. I think it’s a 8.

Are you using an Android app to view Ram Forums?

I use Vivaldi, a Chrome-type browser, and have it set to Desktop viewing.

My Android phone shows dates while looking at Ram Forum and other PHP-style websites.
