A bit off topic, forgive me, but perhaps it's time I learned more about the Optima batteries. In my 34 Eight and other prewar seniors with the large battery box below the front seat or below the golf club compartment, I use a NAPA 7212 which gives 1220 cold cranking amps at 32 degrees F, and 1000 at 0 degrees F. Does a single (not installing two in parallel) Optima-type, have comparative capacity?
