That fits nice in the repro group 27. But have you ever done one with a group 24? I'm wondering if the mini battery and cables would fit in the smaller case. I've done it - it does fit. Link

My yellow cap from Antique Auto will be 8 years old in August and my red cap will be 7 in October. I've never had any issues. Just follow the instructions and NEVER use a battery tender.

I got almost 12 years out of my red cap group 27 (Turbostart) with zero issues during that time... never used/needed a battery tender, would go 3-4 months during the winter not used, always started the car with no hesitation

I used to get 6-8 years out of them several years ago but the last two I purchased only lasted about 2 years each which is why I started doing the whole gut & hide process.
