I don't think it matters what form of battery you have, as they are all based on a lead acid chemical reaction. If you keep the battery on a battery maintainer it will stay charged and last a long time. My last Walmart battery lasted 9 years and I replaced it with the same.
Just get the biggest one that will fit. Smaller means less plate size = less capacity and will sulfate up more readily.
And yes, the 24F has been around forever and is what these cars came with originally. I think it is the biggest too.
Why mess with anything else?

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

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 don't think it matters what form of battery you have, as they are all
based on a lead acid chemical reaction. If you keep the battery on a
battery maintainer it will stay charged and last a long time. My last
Walmart battery lasted 9 years and I replaced it with the same.
Just get the biggest one that will fit. Smaller means less plate size =
less capacity and will sulfate up more readily.
And yes, the 24F has been around forever and is what these cars came
with originally. I think it is the biggest too.
