Have stock position battery tray.
Have in-town car. Still on blocks.. Anyone use a plain old Wallmart sealed battery? What is the biggest one I can use for the most cranking amps? Or is this bad? Thanks |

I've got a 7-lb. WalMart battery in my NC Miata that's at least 2 years old. It works quite well if the car is driven daily. If it's gonna sit for more than a couple of days, I throw it on the Battery Tender.
With the 914's older, crusty, high-resistance wiring, it might be wise tyo stay with the standard size. |

I have a 2 year old normal sealed battery from Wallyworld in the proper size and it's great. If I don't drive it for a week, I plug in the HF battery tender to keep it fully charged. No leakage. I got a can of battery spray to kill acid, and spray it just in case every month.

I've got a sealed Walmart battery in my Vanagon. It wouldn't hold a charge after not being driven for about 8 months. The replaced it at no charge, no questions asked. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from them again, although if your 914 is exposed to wet weather I'd get a gel battery.
