I just ordered a group 27 red cap battery on line for $359 which includes shipping. According to the web site, they are in stock. The batteries are now maintenance free (sealed) batteries so hopefully they will last longer than the just I'm used to getting.
Do us a favor and post the weight of it when you get it! As I already posted, my Turbostart Axion group 27 that I bought in Jan 2011 weighed 58 pounds! Was still starting my 440 nine years later when I killed it and gutted it last week. Damn good battery, damn heavy.
I have a red cap turbo start battery that just died. Also had it since 2011, too bad it finally gave up. Anyway, what are you doing to gut it and replace the insides? What have you bought to go inside, or are you not that far yet?
I did mine, unlike others I have seen I cut the top off to be used as a lid. This also left the whole case intact.
I treadled the post and screwed the post in but may just bolt a cable to them and then onto the new battery inside.
I also epoxied some plastic angle {like angle iron} to hold the top in place but the factory hole down would work. I kinda go past what is needed at times.
I polished the rubber case as seen in the picture with Yellow Caps. And have 2 sets of caps in case I want the 24 to look like a 27 I kinda go past what is needed at times.
