Re: Optima battery
Amazon has the 6 volt Optima for cheaper than the other vendors.

Re: Optima battery
When I put the Optima in my car I used the hold down made from angle iron made for a group 1 battery ---it must fit good enough ,the battery must still be there, it still starts,
Googled 6V optima the other day ---115.48, free shipping, amazon,com, i have been wondering how long mine will last, so far 14 years, had looked to see how much a new one is. |

Re: Optima battery
I have a special care regimen to ensure long life ---neglect and abuse, never charge with a plug in charger for longer than 10 min in 10 years, if the engine won't start after prolonged cranking use the starter to drive the car out of the garage, and use a unregulated generator set to 15 amps. ---actually I do have a regulator, I turn on the headlamps when I think the battery has been charged enough.

Re: Optima battery
Josh, Amazon is usually the cheapest place to buy an Optima. Optima only has one model of a six volt, so you can't go wrong. It's half the weight of a lead acid and mine (2) lasted six years each. You don't need to check the water level either, a nuisance with a Tudor Deluxes carpeting. Price about $130. Downside: You will go through hell trying to get a warranty settlement from Amazon, who is not a licensed agent for Johnson Controls( Optima). So from a defensive position paying $20 more may be a safer bet if the battery fails in 3 years( warranty length). Vendors sell a bracket for the optima.

Re: Optima battery
Mine lasted almost 7 years. I got it, and a bracket, from Bert's. I bought my replacement from them as well. Great battery, well worth the premium over a standard battery.

Re: Optima battery
The Optima RED TOP Battery for 6 volts is the starting battery.
Optima also makes Marine and Deep Discharge with different colored tops. |

Re: Optima battery
Put it in this case and it looks like a normal battery.
