Reply to "What's the best battery for a pantera?"

I like originality too JohnK, but dont care about things you cant see (My car came from the factory with a sunken battery as it's RHD) If having a non original battery in my car half's it's value, that's fine with me. My car will never be for sale.

I considered an Optima but changed my mind when I learned that there was no weight saving to be had over the original battery. I also learned that I could not legally bring it home in my travelling trunk. The airlines still consider it to be a wet cell battery, Gel or not. I could buy one in England, but like everything else here, it costs twice as much as it does in the USA.

After speaking with Dennis Quella I decide to buy one from him. The Odossy dry sell. I was able to bring this home legally. It's called the PC925 it cranks the Cleveland over better than the big old fashioned battery ever did. It's tiny and weighs 26lb. My original battery weighed 41lb. It can also hold it's charge for 2 years. I know this to be true, because my friend bought one, sat it on the shelf for 2 years, we installed it, and it cranked his 427 Dart Windsor over with ease. I have never used my car in the winter months so cant say how well it would cope with freezing mornings.
