Sourcing a Ford script battery for my '40
 

Guys, any current suppliers for a Ford script battery (dry cell in the case) for a '40 Ford?

Kube...You might try C&G in California. They had them listed about a year ago. They are made to order, so will take some time to receive.

Phone: (760) 740-2400

Good luck!

Not sure what you mean by "dry cell in the case". This one is AGM.
Currently offered for sale, but not current to get: they are made to order, wait time is some months.

For those that are unaware of the latest improvements in battery technology, "AGM" stands for "Absorbed Glass Mat". These are still lead/acid batteries, but their method of construction is different. Specifically, the fiberglass mesh mats. They are the GM in AGM batteries. Ultra-thin glass fibers soak up all the electrolyte (water and sulfuric acid) into thin pillows cushioning the lead plates. Instead of the free-flowing liquid inside of a regular car battery, an AGM battery carries its electrical charge in soaked sponges — and those mesh sponges are coating the lead plates.

The fiberglass mesh on the lead plates gives the electrical current a shorter, easier path to follow than in a regular battery with free-flowing liquid.

That’s called low internal resistance, and that’s how an AGM battery’s design that expand what car batteries can fundamentally do. Obviously, the Optima's everyone is mentioning are AGM's.
