I talked to them at Carlisle but I can't recall the price. I just requested a price quote for my 67. Nate

The repop batterys have the same issues that the originals did. I have a repop that i use in my bb truck for shows but have started using the toppers and for the money spent am MUCH happier. I now have a topper in four of the five trucks I own.

What are the issues with the batteries? Thanks, Nate

They "puke" out the vents just as originals and will eat tray and bottom of passenger fender. They are not maintanance free as we have grown used to and a pain in the butt in general

The link I gave above (www.restorationbattery.com) says theirs are maintenance free. I was actually surprised to see that.

blkcorvair · 02-07-2013, 09:25 PM

I believe most of the newer repops are now glass mat batteries which are suppossed to be far superior. But I have still read about alot of failures online so topper for me.

I have a topper on my 69 camaro ( with side post bat. ) Looks great & no issues with it !
