[Mg-t] Lucas/Optima batteries

[Charlie Baldwin]

This came from the Austin-Healey list but may be helpful since some T 
series cars take type 27 batteries:

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!

Another lister had more info:

The only site on the Web that I can find is "Antique Auto Battery" in Ohio at 
www.antiqueautobattery.com, but they list only lead acid batteries (although 
the banner on their home page says "Ask us about our maintenance free sealed 
batteries").
Is this the place? If not, do you have the contact info for the supplier 
you're talking about?

*And the response*:

*That's the place. Sorry I misquoted their name. As they state, ask them 
about their maintenance free sealed batteries.
