I got the Optima for my 72 TR6 and paid only $110 after rebate after
some searching on the Internet. They are $300 on Moss, I have yet to
find any battery yet worth that kind of money.
So far so good with the Optima, I will keep the list posted.

FWIW (not much), I've been taking the opposite approach.B Buy a cheap
battery at Wally Mart or Costco.B I found one a few months back for $35
that
starts the project TR3 just fine.B Likely it will only last 4-5 years,
then
I'll buy another one.B Compared to an Optima that might last twice as
long
(or maybe not) but cost four times as much, that seems like a bargain.B
And
if something happens to it, I'm only out $35.
Plus the lighter weight should translate to better performance.
