Battery Refurb...ing...
I'm looking for a way to possibly refurbish the batteries in my 72' T.. as opposed to going to the dealership and dropping a $100 bucks a piece for new ones..
Have any of you guys or gals got any experience doing this? Any input would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance!

Get one Optima dry battery for about $100, and fit it sideways in one of your battery compartments. No more acid, no worries....;-)

I have a pair of GNB (now Exide) in my 1973. They seem ok. If I was looking for a replacement, I owuld seriously consdier the Optima to aviod the constant worry I have over acid damage.

Thanks for the feedback!.....
Yeah...the acid is a killer.... When I originally purchased this "dog" 8 years ago ....it only had one battery....went ahead and bought two new batteries with 2 year warranties from the dealership... I've managed to keep them going for about 5 years now... they just won't hold a charge now... just trying to keep it somewhat original... I'll check out the optimas! Thanks again!
