Guest dwhiteside64 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Hello,I have a friend who owns a 1929 Olds four-door with a straight six. Not sure of the exact model at the moment (F29??). He needs to get a new battery for it. It's 99% stock. Any suggestions?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlh61olds Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I found the six volt Optima to be the best for my 1928.Under the floor where it was not visible.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlh61olds Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I believe you need the 8010-044 6V .800 cold cranking amps.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Old Codger Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Me...I'm cheap...No...I'm frugal...No..... I'm Thrifty........I get my 6 volt batteries at my local Town and Country store...Six volt batteries for a lot of tractors...Not saying that an Optima isn't a good battery but.........Just look for the cold cranking amps for one. They do vary from battery to battery.Old Codger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 You can buy the 6-Volt Optima Battery on Amazon.com That way it is absolutely fresh, not sitting on a shelf for 2 years, and it runs about $112.59 with no tax and free shipping. follow this link:http://www.amazon.com/Optima-Batteries-8010-044-FFP-Starting-Battery/dp/B00E16LTTK/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1403845739&sr=1-1&keywords=optima+6+volt+batteryI have used these in many of my cars, and sometimes will strap a pair in parallel for incredible cranking ampsBe sure to replace your old cables (especially if they are the cheap 12-volt type) with 00 or 000 cable and soldered terminals for best performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broker-len Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Am in south jersey have two cars from the 30s new wires have always been able to get a regular 6 Volt for about $ 80.00 if your wires and ground are in good shape never understood why you would need more amps or switch to 12 volt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
