90 miles a day on a commuter car is easy on a battery. It is always fully charged. I have a problem with batteries in collector cars that mostly sit and are driven 90 miles a month. A battery tender should be used on a car that sits. But they are a pain to hook up, the wires are easy to trip over, and I hate to have electrical things running in the barn when I am not there (fire hazard).
Yes it is, but heat is another factor that kills batteries and we have plenty of that here in Florida too. I mainly posted the information for reasons that I felt like 51 through 54 owners would be interested in. It's the only rectangular 6 volt group 2 battery that I have run across that's specifically specified for 51 through 54 Packards. It's also affordable, made in the states and is a better alternative to the borderline batteries available at Autozone, Tractor Supply and other chain stores. I still plan on hooking up a battery tender though and hopefully be able to stretch the life of it a little more.
