Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 512TR Battery Recommendation?

[Steve Jenkins (steve]

Anything by East Penn Manuf (they make Deka) is quality.

Get an AGM then make sure your charger has the higher voltage AGM mode. Like a CTEK:

Tho I have an Optima red top in my 512TR.

I heard that Optima quality is not what it used to be.  A friend recommended NAPA -- supposedly made by Deka east of the Mississippi (where I am) and Allied Signal to the west, but I haven't even checked whether they make on in my size (whatever that may be).

Thanks,

P.S.  Temperature sender issue apparently now resolved; will be subject of a separate post.  (Thank you, everyone who weighed in on that problem, especially Clyde.)
