New battery needed


Rick Fraser

Recommended Posts

Batteries with the "Lincoln" logo are expensive (in the $300 range and the dead battery may not be able to be removed and replaced. The last "logo" battery I bought died and while trying to remove the dead battery for replacement discovered the manufacturer set the battery in the case with and inch of dried in place resin....not removable. Blew $300. If you are not showing the car you could use a good 6 volt tractor battery from Tractor Supply or another similar retailer. I've been using Optima batteries for over 10 years and have good results with them. Not in a "logo" case. Amazon.com sells the Optima battery at a good price. Just Google Optima Battery for sellers info. There is also a battery system available that uses 2 Optima batteries for starting but not in a logo style case. Double the cranking power for our old tired V-12 engines.

Earle Brown jr and Alan Wheliam both sell the original size scrip cased complete battery if that is what you want, but it is over $300 as mentioned. The Optima battery is dropped inside a scrip case and then sealed on top to look like original with the scrips on the sides. Nice thing is that the posts are in the correct corners so you don't have problems connecting to the ground cable with these positive ground systems, and the footprint/height are the correct size to fi right in. There are some Thread Searches you can do here that may cover more info on this if you would like. Paul
