By the way, Owen, where did you find a 6 volt with that many CCA's? The one I just bought has 725. It was the best one that National Battery had.


From either NAPA or Delco. But it's very large truck/bus and commercial battery, it matches the original size of the OEM batteries for underseat mounting on senior Packards thru 1936 and perhaps later but is probably too large to fit other models, especially those with underhood batteries. It's a NAPA 7212 or Delco 717A. These #s may no longer be current. I've had great success with these, generally lasting at least 8 years and often more.

PS - just checked the NAPA online store. The BAT 7212 is still an active #, 1170 CCA @ 32 deg. F.
