Who are you fooling with the expensive reproductions?? If you have one that looks original AND works, it's not original.

The ebay caps have a vent hole. Those caps on the battery that say vent do pop out and leave a push in hole.

You have that right, the last repro batteries were junk. I will take a lead acid battery any day over the mini battery in a case for a car to drive.

I bought the $23 kit and an off-the-shelf Group 27 Wal-Mart Everstart. I removed the handle, decals, and popped off the vent caps.

The red caps are a perfect fit for the holes, and do have small vents on top. Looks like the guy made them on his 3-D printer.

No, it won't fool someone up close that it is a genuine repop battery, but for the price and almost zero work I have something that looks like it belongs under the hood.

anyone know a group 27 battery with no strap? like the OP's picture

here's a Costco / Interstate group 27 battery

& no one is trying to fool anyone - is the $400 reproduction even available & will it out last the current company offering them? panic

Leave the stickers off and it would look more like the original.

I use a hacksaw & cut off the carrying handle brackets on my sons Neon battery other wise I wouldn't be able to use the battery cover.

Looks great. I just went with their stickers now thinking I should have gotten the caps also. I'm not trying to fool anyone just think it looks better with it saying Mopar than Everstart.
