	As long as you don't run them dead. If you do, they won't recharge correctly on the alternator and it shortens the life a bunch.

	I have one in my 36 Packard 120 and it really turns that 282 straight 8 over. I have had no problems with it, seems much better than the standard batteries I had been using. Of course in that car it is hidden under the seat, here it looks really odd.

	Thats strange, for one dumb and two not so dumb reasons (looong periods of sitting)....my 6 volt Optima has been dead three times. Dead enough that it wouldn't even cause a spark when shorted. But all three times it's come back and starts fine. It'll be at the Orpan car show Saturday with the same battery in it. Though it may not be as clean as I'd like! It does still have a generator in it for what ever reason that may make.

John Poulos 2 April 2005 08:08:28 [ permanent link ]
	Good point, it might charge on a generator. On a alternator it trys to charge with 35-60 amps and that does not work well. When mine went dead, they told me to charge it a 20 amps for a hour , than 6 amps for 12 hours.

	Just a tip on the Optima for those worried about authenticity. At the Portland swap meet this weekend a vendor had battery cases designed to hold the Optima, but look exactly like OEM style batteries. Pretty cool. S2DSteve

	I think that the filters have very poor filtration if enough air gets through to get full power from the engine. An airbox with a hose and remote standard flter would be my choice. Krl

	I installed a 6volt Optima (in one of those battery look-alike cases) in my '37 Studebaker Dictator & it turns over the '49 Commander Six just great. Those battery boxes come in plastic or original style tar top (for showing). Just a thought but I did replace the braided battery strap when installing the Optima. The 12V Optima is also what I use in my rod & it turns over the hemi engine very easily everytime.
