GelCel Battery Recommendation?
I am looking to go with a single GelCel battery in my 1970 911 and would like to be able to have the battery fit in the battery box. Has anyone done that and can you recommend one?

Any gel or AGM Miata battery will fit with a 2x10 behind it to space it out.
 Westco makes an AGM that I have used. Mazda Performance Parts: Westco 12V31M Miata Battery I had two Marathon AGMs in my 72 for 9+ years no problems. (still performing perfectly when I sold the car) I used a battery tender to keep them charged. They are only $79.95 at Battery Mart Mazda MIATA Battery: BatteryMart.com

The Westco Miata agm batteries with some spacers since they are smaller than stock work great for me.

Thanks everyone for all the tips. Does anyone know if the WestCo AGM and the Marathon AGM batteries for the Miata are the same size? The Marathon at half the price seems like I good value

You may want to check out some battery threads on the miata board. The one before has some really good info regarding the miata AGM style batteries that I think you may find helpful.
