Default battery size for 35 coupe

What is the best battery to fit in stock location in a 35 coupe, Napa store by me says they don't have one height wise that will fit. Or is it better to move it to the trunk. THANKS

I used an Optima 6volt I got my first one at amazon.com.they are a little hard to find but do a great job.no acid and I laid mine down flat in the orginal location in my 35. My first one lasted about 7 yrs.

You can get the 6V Optima from your NAPA store. I believe there was a post here a while back on making a simple drop mount adapter to fit in the stock location or you can mount it on its side as mentioned.

I have an Optmia in the stock location in my 35 Touring Sedan. WILL NEVER USE AN ACID BATTERY in an antique again!!! Made a drop down bracket that can be removed and original battery can fit back as original.
