I will check Remi Battery and see if they will warranty the battery. I purchased the battery myself and still have the original receipt. I will also check terminal voltage at a higher RPM.
With all the damaged Hell Holes in 914's, I am not going back to a convention lead acid battery. Not worth it to save a few dollars now. All 914's should have some kind of a sealed battery IMHO.

Any "approved" Optima seller should honor the warranty, just find the closest on the Optima website I posted above. If they won't, then report them to Optima (they drop dealers who won't honor or add BS charges), & try another. If Remi is close by - go to them since it's their sale.
WARNING - WARNING, WILL ROBINSON!!!!
(sorry, couldn't find the robot) .......
I used to use Delco's back in the 70's & early 80's before Interstate & sealed lead acids were around,
always kept a pad under it & treated felt rings on the posts - then it was garaged on blocks in "sunny" SoCal since May 85 with a clean & a then
rust free battery tray & the last Interstate sealed lead acid battery/etc.
removed - even washed everything off with baking soda & water to neutralize it & dried it off as per storage reccos!
So - flash forward - & I check back in April 09 ~ 25+/- years later & here's the result from residual old acid fumes, etc.!!!!!
