Re: Best 6V battery
Just replaced an Interstate that was 8 years old with a NAPA. That old Interstate replaced an 8 year old Exide. Those two old batteries were in a completely stock charging system, never sat on maintainers and only got jumped occasionally after long periods of sitting. I've since upgraded the generator with one of Tom Wessenbergs EVRs. I imagine that should gain me another year or two out of this new battery.
I guess what I'm getting at is that most conventional 6V batteries seem to be just as good as each other (hell, they probably all come out of the same factory with different labels).
Optima might be a good route but if you only get 12 years out of them I couldn't justify almost double the price for an extra 2-4 years of life.
