Was looking to pick up a new battery for the tiger. Current battery that is in it is an Interstate 24-50. I thought I remember that group 24 was the original size, but I can't remember what reference

Steve I have an Interstate MT-34 battery in my Tiger. Seems to me there was also an optional battery listed that was a little longer. You would have to look to see if that optional battery is still a

It's also important that you keep the connections tight and corrosion free... it takes very little resistance in the battery to starter circuit (including all ground straps) to make the car unstartab

When I buy batteries for my vehicles I just measure and put in the largest size that will fit. Starting in Vermont winters the Cold Cranking Amps is very important. Possibly cars in the hot climates

The OEM group size for the Tiger was 27. They can be difficult to find,but I have seen them at Sam's Club. For non-purest owners, a group 65 will fit in the OEM battery tray if you slice off some of

Wasn't the original-sized battery for a Tiger a Group 27? Admittedly, I don't know if they still make that size, but if originality is your goal, I believe that there is a Lucas Group 27 reproduction

If you're a stickler for originality, don't forget that the original battery was vented. Each of the six filler caps on the original battery had a nipple that connected to a vent tube. The vent tube

It did not make sense to me that the original Group 27 battery was larger than the battery tray so I measured the tray again to check. I was a little off. Battery tray - 6 7/8" x 12 3/16" That's a be

The Group 27 battery was likely a non-disclosed "traction aid" for the Tiger. For what its worth I ran a group 24 and even for a time I think a group 22 battery, trunk mounted, in my 260, 1964 Falcon

I have an original vent tube. It basically looks like drip tube (used in a garden) but softer and more pliable. It has probably 1/8 holes spread just far enough to connect to the vent caps Lynn --Ori
