No

The issue with the PT is the battery terminals are reversed, the 'R' on 26R. So while the battery may fit in the tray, the battery cables will not reach their respective battery terminals regardless of how the battery is placed in the tray.

Unfortunately, I have found, that the pictures on a website do not always match the actual item.

As noted, battery size may be comparable but terminal orientation is critical. The battery cables are sized to reach the OE terminal configuration and not an inch more.

I suggest an actual side-by-side comparison.

sound advice. I will do that. you'd be amazed at how many people disagree that the only batterey that will work is the 26r.
just because that's that'came in it . they think I'm silly for wanting more cranking amps and cca. or a agm batterey. I do not want my child stranded
