Need to order a battery today for my 74. My typical go-to is a Napa battery. I've had good luck with them in many vehicles and boats. I'm open to a gel battery if that's best for a 914. Any recommendations? The car will always be garaged so rainwater will be pretty rare.

I recommend the Odyssey PC-925 too. I had one sit idle for approximately 3 years without a charge on it (mid 2015 ~ mid 2018). In 2018, I charged it with a smart AGM charger for a day and it fired up my 9.5 C/R 2056 just fine. I was so impressed, that I purchased another one for another P-car in 2019.
They're a little smaller than a group 34 battery, but I wouldn't let the small size fool you. Also due to the smaller dimensions, you'd have to modify the restraining method - easy modification though. They cost around $200. these days. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Only batteries I run in 914s anymore, have cars with both the 680 and the 925, either is fine but for most cases think i prefer the 925. Get a mount (with or without cutoff switch) from Rennline and dont look back... https://www.rennline.com/Battery-Mount-Kits/products/169/ |
