When I researched earlier this year Interstate still had the best warranty program, that's what I went with too.

Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] Battery Size
Years ago when looking to buy a battery for the Pantera, I searched for the highest CCA rating I could find (for obvious reasons).
That turned out to be the Interstate MTP-24F. I believe it's 'still' the most powerful automotive battery in our size.
I just installed the third one in my car since 2000. Averaging just under 9 years of life. Great power and fits perfect.
FYI....the Interstate batteries at Costco are a lesser grade than those at an Interstate store.
Have a good week y'all.

Thanks for the replies - The 1"
difference in height between the Group
27
(9" high) and Group 34 (7.9"
high) should provide the clearance I
need...I
am not sure though if the stock
Pantera battery hold down, which works
perfectly for the 12.5" wide
Group 27 battery, will work on the Group
34's
10.3" length...(I can just take
the top hold down piece with me to the
battery store)

What is the proper

not Optima, etc.A
Thank you
