Starting Batteries
Cranking or Starting battery, this simply means the battery has capacity when correctly sized to start an engine. A larger engine requires a larger battery and the extra volume within the battery gives more surface area for the plates to create a larger chemical reaction to produce more current to start your vehicle/engine.
AGM batteries are designed to have a higher energy density and therefore a higher cranking output. Many times a smaller AGM battery can easily start a vehicle that might have typically had a much larger battery in it. Lithium batteries have a higher energy density again and while there are other considerations with a different type of chemistry they are even smaller and much lighter than AGM batteries because they don't contain a heavy metal (lead).

Odyssey's Factory Replacement for BCI 75 / 86
Factory Power replacement with options for top terminal delete.
Battery best equivalent to Optima 34 series. Terminals differ slightly to Optima, but the performance is similar and size is slightly smaller. Two variations are available, 75 with just side mount terminals or with both terminals top and side as shown. (PC1230-75 pic also shown).
BCI Group 75/86 similar size to that of an Optima 34/78 but with more AH capacity.
