[Rovernet] New Battery for a 1970 3500S P6b (Federal)

[larry williamson]

To rover net. I did buy the latest Optima's before I heard from a mechanic
that the new ones were not good. I have four and the purchase years are
1999,2012.2013 and 2014. All are still working. However what does the group
think that is the best battery now. Larry
