QUOTE(markd@mac.com @ Oct 18 2004, 11:22 PM) NAPA carries a competing line called Orbital. Same design. Just FYI, in case you can't find the Optima locally. Exide product. Pep Boys sold me one of those after i drove clear across town when they assured me on the phone they had Optimas. died in less than 3 years. not the same. real Optimas for me -- Coscto has them at great prices, but i wouldn't count on them to have the 34R that's best in a 914. 34R's were evidently unavailable for a long while (changeover from orange to red?). anyway, the Optima site says they have them now. i won't use anything but a sealed battery in a Porsche -- in the 911 i use two little bitty Hawker Genesis 26Ah batteries that have better specs than the 36 Ah wet cells originally specified 35 years ago. ain't technology wonderful ? |
