    1967 battery life

    Have a 1967 original style battery; when not in use, connected to a battery tender. Question is, how long can one expect approx battery life to be in years when used and stored as stated ??? Thank You in advance. Mike Chase

    "Original style" as in a repro battery???? My experience is life expectancy of about 2-3 years if you are lucky. For some reason they just don't last like the name brand batteries. Maybe the gell batteries they offer will last longer......

      I`ve got 4 years on a repro original style battery and still going strong. I use a disconnect plus a battery tender 24/7 plus keep a good watch on water levels. Only add distilled water.

        Hi Mike, I have a correct repo Delco R 59 battery in my '67 thats still going strong after 6 years. I do exactly as Jim has been doing as far as watching the water level and keeping the battery tender on 24/7.
        Good Luck with your battery life.
