Re: 6 volt optima battery
Mine just died after 12 years. Best battery I ever had. Anyone know where to get that case and top?

Re: 6 volt optima battery
If you do a search you will find pictures of Optima batteries mounted in different year early Ford V-8's. I know I have personally made many picture posts of my mounting in a '35 fordor sedan. G.M. has posted pictures of three or four of his cars with Optima's mounted in the engine compart.
It's always a good idea to specify exactly what you are looking for in your original post.

Re: 6 volt optima battery
I guess posts are like our cars everyone sees them a little differntly. I read 39-9s post and had I had one of those Optima's in my car I would have posted it.

Re: 6 volt optima battery
The best price I have found for a 6volt optima was Amazon , beat summit by almost $50 last time I needed one .
ok I have looked up both prices & edited my post Amazon =$119.95 Summit = $137.95 both with free shipping . Amazon gone up & summit less than when I last purchased . cheers Tony Last edited by KiWinUS; 03-30-2015 at 06:24 PM. |

Next time how about writing something like "i'm looking for ideas on how to mount a 6v Optima in my 39 coupe. Does anyone have any pictures like this they would like to share." Oh, and for my contribution, I'm not ready to mount it yet but I'm thinking about using a 50 cal ammo can as a battery box. The length and width are okay but I"ll have to cut the bottom out to get more height: image.jpg |

Re: 6 volt optima battery
I see you edited your first post and removed your nasty comment. Thanks for that.....This site is all about helping others and should not be one that takes shots at others.
BTW - your constructive "contribution" is a good one.

Re: 6 volt optima battery
I had a couple of them one. Of the two, one needed some warranty attention shortly after I bought it. Now the "fun" began.
If you got the battery via mail order such as Amazon (and others), your hurting. They will not accept a return of a used battery nor will shippers knowingly ship it. If you try to take it back to a local dealer they will tell you to take it back where you got it. I called Optima for help and got the run around. They will not accept a returned battery. That was over a year ago. Hopefully, things have improved. Generally, these batteries are trouble free but I would get a clear understanding of the warranty before I purchased one.
