1956 'Bird Batteries

[TEABYRD]

What do my fine feathered friends say is a good optional battery for a '56 'Bird???

Unless you want to pay $300, or more. O'Reilly auto parts,has a battery,that is listed for a truck. It is the same size as a OEM, battery,for less than $100.

The battery brand is Super Start 29NF. I have had it,for about 6 months. Works great. I do keep a battery tender,or it,when it is setting.

Interstate Battery has the same size that would fit in the battery tray for under $100.00... 29NF-VHD

Come on guys and gals, it is all about looks. Don't put no ugly battery in that beautiful car!

I went with the yellow caps - thought it went better with the car than the red ones!

The battery at Orielly's,comes with black caps. You might able to replace,with red,or yellow. For 1/3 the price,I think,I would give it a try.

I ordered mine from Battery Central SG29NPP It is a stock appearing battery. I think it looks better with the proper battery in the engine compartment. That being said it took months to get it. It was worth the wait but as I said long time coming.

I too went the Battery Central route and it took forever, at the time. I think now the lead time has significantly improved though.

As far as reliability, this battery has been trouble-free. I do keep a Battery Tender on it, and the battery cut-off switch is kept in the OFF position when the car is on the perch. So far, so good as I enter into the second year with the battery!

I also went with the same battery, I bought mine through E Bay at half the price. I always hook mine into a battery tender . All year around.
