The best one is from Antique Auto Battery and they run around $320 counting the shipping. They do not make the battery until they have an actual order so the battery doesn't set around on a shelf. They other one usually sells for around $220 or so. When you are shopping, ask who make the battery.

I just bought a redcap from Antique Auto Battery in Ohio ($320.00 shipped). So far, so good. Not to mention, it is quite a bit lighter in weight!

However, the battery from Antique Auto Battery had 100 more cranking amps so to me that was the better battery and worth the extra money. I have had no issues with any of the Antique Auto Batteries I have purchased over the years.

Peel all the lables off, wipe it down, and hit the key.
