If you have an original battery case, a decent 3D printing company should have a hand held 3D scanner. You don't need to measure anything. They just wave it over like a magic wand. This will produce a 3D digital image of both batteries. They can then modify the image any way you want. for example you may want to make it 3/8" taller, to accommodate the Optima battery. You can digitally compare the two batteries in 3D on a computer screen and add or remove any features.
You can do the same with the labels and a digital printer. Ideal if you want low numbers printed.
