I like my Optima 6-volt battery in my H because it has more cranking amps than a regular type battery for the size - I believe it's rated at 800 CCA and 1000 amps at 32 degrees F. It literally turns my H over like a 12 volt battery would.
Also, it's small and lightweight and doesn't leak so I can easily use it to start my 51 IH pickup, W-9, etc. without much fuss. AND, it sits for about 4 months through the winter without being used and has always started the tractor right up in the spring - no discharge problems.
I also have an Optima battery in my car - for the size it has more CCA than a conventional lead-acid battery and starts the car more quickly. I also noticed with the lead-acid battery that the lights would dim quite a bit at a stoplight with the AC on, now we don't notice the lights dimming at all. The Optima just plain has more capacity in a similar size.
