If you run two batteries and wire them in series they have to be the same to work and live. Glad I found this thread as I was booted at Atlanta and had no clue the fake front battery was wrong. The rule is "The battery that has to be in the stock location must be able to start the car" as far as size goes I'm having trouble getting an answer.

maybe NHRA should put out a list of approved batteries, or better yet, they need to make it like a Concours show where every original sticker and date code specific things like batteries, belts, and hoses need to be used on the car.

Good idea I'd have to have an extinct tar top Delco. Ha

Hey Chris, I assume you are joking but better yet, maybe we could get SFI approved dated batteries that have to be replaced every year...
