Default Re: 12V Battery choices

I have had good luck with 12V Walmart battery made by Johnson Controls. Cost around $100. Fits 40 Ford battery tray. I installed a copper shim on the negative pole so battery cable would fit properly. No problems. The one in the photos is dated 4/13 and is maintained with a battery tender. Handle makes it easy to remove. Peel off (and save) labels to make it look closer to ALL BLACK. Johnson Controls makes Optima batteries. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums...Number=2886948 The dimensions of the Walmart battery are
(254 mm)10 in. long x (203.2 mm) 8 in. wide x (177.8mm) 7 in tall. Perhaps Deka makes a similar size. They also make a gel battery.
