Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Battery for 348

[BRIGANDBAR (BRIGANDBAR]

Despite all of my best efforts, nothing else seems to show any problems so  
it is off to the shop for a new battery for my 348 Spyder.
 
Right now I'm thinking about an Optima gel battery, as apparently changing  
out the battery is not simply open the battery box cover and remove the 
battery.  Does anyone know if Optima even makes a battery in the correct size 
and 
post  position for these cars?
 
Second thought is going with one of those marine deep cycle batteries  
(Optima if possible) as in the winter time the car may go for a month or so  
without 
being started. Any thoughts pro or con?
 
Finally, any recommendations for battery tenders? Installed or external?  
Position and wiring? Any brand or specification recommendations?
