Peter,

Absolutely great work. Since I am only just about to get my car to roll, Is there any chance of getting a 12volt for my other project?

Thank you putting this deal together again.

I took advantage of this deal last year and the entire purchase experience was great.

This is a good price i just bought one on ebay for $115. with free shipping…i may buy another one and wire the two together for more cranking amps…

That’s a good question —

Are two six volt Optima batteries in series the same as one twelve volt? Or are the six volt batteries “bigger” or whatever?

If you look at an Optima battery, you can see the individual 2-volt cells. so I wonder. . . .

It would be a 12v, with high cranking amperage, but rather costly, I think a 12v Optima is available for a lot less than $200.

Nice job Peter, thank you.

As I think I mentioned during last year’s very generous similar offer, I use two Optima 6V batteries in parallel in my Pierce 8-cylinder cars. A single Optima does very well in my Series 80 cars.

The advantage of two-in-parallel is more for the **reserve** capacity needed for significant night driving while running at a charging deficit.

For example, 1934 Pierce 8s were factory equipped with a wet cell battery with 140 amp hrs (AH) of reserve; Pierce 12s had 165 AH reserve. A 6V Optima battery has not more than 100 AH of reserve.

Those 1934 Pierces with Delco generators rated at 25 amps actually produced a max of 17 amps HOT with the third brush turned up all the way. I’ve upgraded my tail and stop light bulbs to #1129 and therefore run at a charging deficit at night with headlights on.

Therefore, a pair of Optimas will give you 200 AH of reserve.

Last year, using batteries from this offer, I replaced the pair of Optimas installed in my 1930 roadster in 2000–they were getting a tad weak. In my experience, Optimas can be left for significant periods of non-use without using a float charger; that is, they maintain their charge much longer than wet cell batteries.

I’m ordering another two now! And I’m mentioning PAS in my email to OptimaJim in hopes of making this an annual opportunity.

Thanks for putting this offer together, Peter

I had 41 Cad with the typical hard start when hot situation. The previous owner had installed an extra battery, so there was the benefit of the extra oomph when the car was hot One night, I drove home in the dark, lights on etc. The following morning everything was totally dead. The weak battery had sucked the other battery dead. I installed two new batteries, with a shutoff on each. Then I could drive and charge both batteries, or shut one or the other off, and have one in reserve.
