Because my car tends to sit a lot. I installed an Optima Yellowtop (deep cycle automotive) in my car several years ago. I’ve been extremely happy with the cold cranking power, and long life (it’s been in the car about four years now. Here’s the link to the battery: https://www.optimabatteries.com/en-us/yellowtop-deep-cycle-battery

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)

I purchased an Exide group
size 27 battery for my 72 Pantera - It
fits
well in the battery
location in the front trunk and works with the
stock
hold down but seems too
tall as when I close the hood, the hood is
raised
in the area in front of
the windshield on the passenger side. The
measurements of the
battery I purchased are: Height: 9", Width: 12.5"
and
Depth 6.81"
What is the proper size
battery for a Pantera? I'm looking for a
standard
battery, not Optima, etc.
Thank you
