Group 1 or 2 battery
I have read that a group 2 battery fits the box better but are more expensive. If it is true that it fits better because the size is a little larger, does it mean it’s a better battery because it costs more? Thanks for the advice. Marc

Re: Group 1 or 2 battery
Same here. I switched over after I had 2 group 1's fail withing 3 years. I've had the Optima 6v for a couple of years now without a single issue, ... well, that wasn't my fault like leaving the lights on, or from an occational sticking brake pedal.

Re: Group 1 or 2 battery
Ive had 3 optima 6 volts over the yrs and loved them. Two worked great and one was a dud.
I paid 125-150. at the time. I think they are easily double that now. I am now using Rural King 6 volts for 50. each. they are fine by me. I dont drive often. |

Re: Group 1 or 2 battery
6 volt = Group 1
