Looking for a new battery, 1970 Challenger RB 505 stroker about 12:1 compression that doesn’t get driven much, more of a strip car. Battery is located in the trunk, so weight is not much of a problem. What have you had good luck with?

I had an Optima yellow top that never seemed to hold a change very long. I will check on interstate.

Optima red in the street Duster's trunk, 2 regular Group 27s in the race Duster's trunk. All are in cases. Zero problems with either.
Optima's probably the wiser choice, never had one gas off or leak or corrode its terminals.
