I have a 1950 F1 226 6 Cycle and the battery is dead. The current battery has been in the truck for about 6 years. It was a Duralast Gold 35-DLG (cold cranking amps 640, reserve capacity 100, cranking amps at 32 degrees 800).

I am in need of a new battery and wanted to hear what people recommend. I live in south central IN and I try to drive the truck at least once a week between March-December. The winter months it depends on the weather.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Should I go with the same battery or are there others out there that are as good or better. If I go with the same battery, anyone have an idea what I should pay for it? Obviously, I would like to get the best battery for the best price.

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Brian

 

Optima Yellow top is designed to hold a charge when not used for long periods. I have had mine for over 5 years and it has been great.

 

x2 on the yellow top, Have one in a vw project I did a few years back, never an issue.

 

I'd vote XS Power or even Deka Intimidator.
