The question isn't whether they will ever build another Group 27 Mopar vintage battery....
The question is, will they ever make it at a reasonable price?
if guys line up and pay $350 for it... the price will rise
if nobody buys it.... the price might come down...
I find it hard to believe in this day and age that it costs that much
to make a lead acid battery (old style)....
maybe I'm just old and out of touch...
I guess I did line up because it took 3 months to receive it. But I didn't pay $350 for a group 27 battery. I paid $361 for a smaller group 24. Its a lot of money, but I have wanted one for a long time. So I decided to pay the price. "if nobody buys it...the price might come down". Nope, they go out of production. Its happened before.
The ODS-AGM28L (PC-925) AGM battery alone sells for $250.00. And then there are the licensing fees to Chrysler as skdmark mentioned. Just ask Mike Ross at B/E & A about those costs.
The shipping to send a 35 lb carton to Alabama from Ohio was included in the price, so I think what I paid was fair.
