Re: IML: 1961 Crown Southampton



I need to replace my 6-volt battery. I would be grateful for any suggestions. Does Optima make a 6-volt? Where do you purchase this brand?
Thank you and thank you Kenyon, for advice on shut off.

On my 62, I broke the piggy bank and bought an Optima battery. You just can't go wrong with it. You don't have to trickle charge it if you don't drive the car all the time, and it charges up fast too. Now, an Optima looks way out of place in the vintage surroundings of our engine compartments. So I ordered an Optima tar top cover that Eckler Corvette sells. With some slight modifications, you can have the battery look like it belongs there. Kenyon brought up a good point on the battery disconnect switch. It's good practice to keep a battery disconnected from the car as it sits in order to minimize the galvanic effect which aids in the corrosion of body parts.
