Technically speaking this is a "reverse terminal" battery, meaning the negative (black) post is on the left, but if you flip it around, it becomes a normal (negative post on the right) battery with the posts near the back, which is ideal and requires no bending or stretching of the positive battery terminal. You will see pictures of this battery (Here and here for example) which show it as a normal (negative post on the right) battery with the posts in the rear. The folks selling these batteries have peeled the label off the top and rotated it 180 degrees so that it's right-side up with the battery "backwards". One other note about the "Group 35", this is a top post only battery. It has just a single set of posts.
75/25, aka 75/35. This is a dual post battery, with both top and side posts. It fits the Maxima just fine, although it may require a bit of "stretching" of the positive terminal. This used to be called the 75/35 but has been renumbered to 75/25.

that should be in the stickies. all that's in the stickies (that i can recall) is something brief about a yellow top but without part numbers or anything about fitment.
also, my sister always leaves the lights on or the interior lights on in her max. would a yellow top be better suited for her because she seems to wear out batteries prematurely and yellow tops are deep cycle

Every Optima battery will fit the max, some just take some extra work. I hace the 75/25 and its a perfect fit.
