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

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.

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:

I have used these in many of my cars, and sometimes will strap a pair in parallel for incredible cranking amps

Be 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

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
