>>>>>>>>>>>Antique Battery Supply in Ohio now supplies the best of both
worlds as far
as I'm concerned. I recently purchased one of their absolutely accurate
Lucas style moulded Group 27 batteries with all the correct details for a
BJ8 restoration, but they have an Optima battery sealed inside the moulded
Lucas case. The battery has a 10 year Optima warranty, there is no fussing
with an acid battery, no topping up, no gassing, etc. Unscrew any of the
Lucas filler caps and there's the bright orange Optima unit inside! Of
course lots of warning tags and literature about not adding acid or water to
this case!
Now if we can only get them to install one of these in the 17L series 6V
Lucas case, and another 17L case that is empty except for the terminal
connections so it can be installed in series in the car, one on each side a
per original, we'd have the problem solved for the 2 seater models.

Hi Rich
I looked at the Antique Battery Supply web site but saw no reference to the
Lucas case with Optima battery inside. Is there a secret password on their
site to find this information?
