This is an old battery blue tops. Delco. I don't even know how to ship it. But it's not that heavy. Probably most of water/acid is all dryed up inside. But it is in really good shape outside. With a.blank warranty card. $40. + Shipping. Thanks.

You will have a difficult if not impossible time shipping this. It is considered Hazardous Material and therefore subject to different regulations for shipping. Most shippers won't allow it.

Actually a friend of mine owns recon battery here. Will ask him tomorrow. Think it's dry anyway. He ships semi loads of batteries every week. 45,000 lbs. But maybe cause it's all at once. Don't really know. I do know they sell them on eBay all the time. It's still very cool.

This would be cool as a 'dummy' battery in the stock location with a standard battery relocated

Just an update on shipping. Post office WILL ship it as it is a dry battery. No acid or water in it. It's 50 + yrs. Old. Just pad it well so casing doesn't get cracked. Regular rate. Not considered hazardous.

So you all know the Mall parking lot is more dangerous than an old battery laying around. Those are all being charged.

Survived all those years, but didn't make it through USPS. Harlow

*randy500* · 08-18-2018, 04:03 PM

That's a real shame. I wanted that too, I bet your mad.

**jocko** · 08-18-2018, 04:21 PM

Boo, hiss. Sorry to hear that Harlow, that really sucks.

*Harlowhead1972* · 08-18-2018, 04:54 PM

Big bummer, but what can you do? Harlow

**painterljp** · 08-18-2018, 11:28 PM

Refunded your money Harlow. Sent it back thru paypal. People can't pickup 25 lbs. Hope they will get workers comp. For dropping on their toe and then kicking the box. .. Don't even think more padding would have helped that. Again awfully sorry. Bummer!!

*Harlowhead1972* · 08-19-2018, 09:13 AM

Hi Lois. Thank you for the refund. It will still make a cool display piece! Harlow
