speaking of 74 beetles and batteries
I just had a woman bring in her 74 beetle because it wasn't starting unless
jumped or pop started. Sence we were talking about batteries, so it wasthe first thing I looked at. Now I posted that Interstate makes the best battery in my opinion and now I will stand behind that100% , why well she has an interstate battery that is now 13 yrs old and up till last week was working fine in her daily driver. I pulled the caps off and discovered that it was low on acid/water, about 3 cup fulls. I have it on charge tonight and will have it tested at autozone tommorow to see if its still good or not. My guess Yes. Its a 42-50(month) so if you need one anytime soon this would be my recommendation. Mario Vintage Werks restorations |
