Not so much a short as a continual interference with the electrical properties of the battery. OEM battery tie downs are coated to prevent this interaction.

And I like batteries that fit into the battery compartment for one. Plus, I've heard stories about Optima that lead me to believe the price is not worth it.

I spent $40 on the damn thing knowing that it was going to sit under a battery compartment cover

But I dug through my parts bin and found the OEM one pretty quick. It was in a ziploc bag with the OEM shifter assembly and oil cap
