Time has come for a new battery for my 76. What can you recommend in the +\- $200 range?
The car will be driven 3-4 times a week around town. The new technology Is amazing but does it apply to a 45 year old car? Thanks! |

Be cautious if considering an Antigravity battery. It may or may not work for you.
In the thread, > What's your volt meter reading when cruising around town?, member raynekat, bought a 30 amp hr Antigravity and had issues with the battery supplying enough current with headlights, fogs, wipers, etc running. His discussions with Superhawk996 are really worth reading - before spending a lot of money on a lithium battery. I will be installing seat heaters so I know I will have extra current draw above what is standard. I was contemplating trying the Antigravity unit until I read the thread and opted instead for the Odyssey PC1200 (ODS-AGM42L). The Optima was second on my list. Thanks to these guys I think I avoided making the wrong choice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) |
