Default Re: New Battery for '40 V8

I have had excellent experiences with my Optima batteries which were all purchased on Amazon. I have 6-volt Optima’s in three of my old cars and they have never required trickle charging, even after months of non-use. In 2015, I bought three 12-volt group 31 Optima batteries from Amazon for use as starting batteries in my motorhome. These came with a 24-month warrantee and one failed at around 18 months. When I called Amazon, the lady who answered the phone was of no help, so I asked her to buck it up to her supervisor. After I explained the situation to the supervisor, he offered to send me 3 new ones at no charge. He said that I could just keep the old ones. They came two days later and I couldn’t be happier. One of old ones now resides in the rumble compartment of my ’34 roadster.
