Which battery for a '68 912?

[Porschephile]

Hey guys...

In your experience, which battery do you think is best for an early model 912? Also, where can I find one? I'm in Portland, Oregon if that helps.

Thanks,

optima red top.

battery originality isn't something to fool with.

Optimas are sealed, and don't leak because they're gel inside.

advance auto has them.

Must be something in the air - my 1968 912 battery just died last week, too, and I was in need of the same. Anyway, They carry Optima batteries at Sears (I had to get the yellow top b/c the reds were out of stock). Call around because the shops that say they carry Optimas usually don't have them in stock. You need a Size 51R.
