 Optima 6 volt battery August 1, 2009

This battery is expensive. I could have bought 3 normal!? lead acid batteries for the price that I paid for only one Optima battery. Why did I do that? I have a 1951 Ford that had a 6 volt system when it was new. I restored it and left it as original as possible. My current lead acid battery is 5 years old. It was leaking and causing corrosion on both battery terminals as well as eating the paint off my battery holder. I participate in a few old car restoration chats. Many, many of the other folks that have tried the 6 volt Optima assured me that I would not be sorry that I spent 3 times more money and I should go ahead a purchase this battery.
I bit the bullet, so to speak, and ordered the battery. I had already cleaned my cables and repainted my battery holder while waiting for the battery to arrive. I strapped it in with bungie cords and turned the key. I spins the engine as fast as a 12 volt. The car had been setting long enough for some of the gasoline to evaporate out of the carburator. With the old battery, I normally squirted some starter fluid down the carb before even attempting to start it. I just wanted to see if this battery is a great as I have been told.
The only thing that I can find to complain about is the size of the battery. I had to make a holddown for it. I cut up some sheet metal, bent it and welded it together in about an hour. I am now a happy owner of a battery that I think that I can trust. I'm also told that it will never leak and ruin my cables or battery holder.

Original equipment is always great in old autos, but constantly refinishing the battery box and surrounding areas is time consuming and money consuming.
Battery acid eats holes in autos and wallets.
Wish i would have changed years ago.
Thanks, Don

Best price I could find anywhere on or off the net, fast shipping and the battery is a top notch Optima. It is already in my 54 and the old girl runs like a champ now with plenty of electrical power (of course that 6v alternator helps).
optima batterys great, shipping box is not good enough August 5, 2009
Mike (Dayton, OR)
the optima is very toughf allowing it to make it through transsit in a very poorly packed box. i have orderd and recived 4 optimas and 2 of them have had vissible damage to the case of the battery due to shipping. the boxes were ether broken or the battery was allowed to move around badly in the box. the batteries have all working ok but i can't help wonder if some of there life was taken in shipping.
Great Battery August 16, 2009

I purchased this battery for use in an old classic car (1950 Studebaker). It fits in the original battery box at a 45 degree angle and looks great. These are the best batteries I have ever used and I have them in more than one of my vehicles. Highly recommended.
