Anybody have any experience (good or bad ) with a Dyna-Batt  dry cell battery . I'm considering using one in my 26T Lakes Modified roadster , as it's small and lightweight (13#)  I looked at the Optima batteries and they are large and heavy. I do not need much ,as I will only be running the ignition & lighting system ,and no accessories.  They cost around $140.00 online , but I don't want to spend that if they don't do the job and are not worth it.  Feedback from anyone who has used or bought one appreciated.

Ditto on Turbo's request. I'm looking at a Dyna-Batt or one of the clones but I haven't found anyone local that sells them. You can read all the comparos you want but a personal experience is the best recommendation.

I've had mine in the car for almost 2 years with no problems.  It starts a
Stude V8 every time, I have welded on the car with the Batt hooked up,
leave the turn signals on fairley often, etc.

I have never had it completley drained or had to jump the car.

For the size it is great, I have it behind the seat in a channeled A pickup with a serious space problem.  I had a neighbor looking at it and eventually used two 6V Lawn mower batteries in his A Coupe.

They tuck up inside the frame rails of a '32 Ford very nicely and they keep the battery out of the trunk which is not very big to begin with. Before buying one I asked the same question on the other website, and people responded positively. That is why I decided to go that direction. I can't report on the performance as the car is not on the street yet, but I'm not worried about it.
