Slight deviation to this post, if you will allow me.
I had a few resto batteries a few years ago and was very disappointed. They were reliable for about three years in classic car use (i.e., sits all winter in the frozen north - Michigan). In the fourth summer you best bring battery cables to get an occasional jump start.
I gave up, and bought a new premium 27 month Mopar battery from my local dealer. The first one is going on 6 years, the second on 4. No problems, if they get a bit "flat", a week on a trickle charger and they are good as new.
I like the look of the reproduction batteries, but I like stating better.
What is everyone's experience here today?
Thanks!

I'm just replacing a lead acid Group 27 that I bought from Antique Auto Battery in July 2002. I use a battery keeper on it periodically and it never gave me any trouble. It still seems to hold the charge but I decided that it is getting old and also a Group 24 yellow cap battery is actually the correct one for my car.
