Default Battery Question - Please HELP!

I have a 1969 911e that needs two new batteries. Does anyone know what type/brand of battery works well? I've heard that Optima Batteries are great but have also heard that there is a big difference between the YELLOW and RED tops. What is the correct size and type of battery that I should be looking for. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!!

Get the Red Top. Make sure you have the correct hold-down bracket to secure it. You can do a search here regarding the bracket.

You have several choices depending on your need and configuration. To keep the 2 battery system, you can use 2 Odyssey PC680MJ. To convert to one battery, you could either go with 1 Optima RedTop or 1 Odyssey PC1200MJT like the first picture below from Elephant Racing .

On my own car, I've converted to one battery using the Odyssey PC680MJ and stuffed it into the smuggler's box. (2nd Picture)

Sonneshein make gel batteries that are a direct fit for your car. I got mine from Lauderdale Battery, in FL, and have been very happy with them.
