Default battery with more than 75 min RC

Hi,

does anyone know if there are any group size 42 batteries, the ones
you need for a bug, that have more than 75 min reserve capacity? 75
min or 80 is all I can find. I am more used to 105 min and would like
to install one that has a high reserve capacity.

Maybe an Optima redtop is what you want:

I'm using a model 34 in my '73 Super.

Maybe the yellowtop D34 if you want more reserve?:

Thanks for the info.

I have never considered a group size 34 battery. It looks took big, at
least on paper. How did you make it fit? Just looking at the
dimensons, I can't imagine how a size 34 battery can fit.
