I cant give you advise as to which Optima will fit your H2, but I will say get the yellow top. I've got the red tops in my truck and they're great batteries, but they cannot be deeply discharged many times before they are ruined. The yellows are supposed to withstand the deep discharge over 200 times.

Pretty easy actually. I just dropped them in side by side and made a little bracket to hold them in place. I wired them in parallel.
