A good friend (Tyler) bought one from these guys and had really good success with it.

http://www.antiqueautobattery.com/

I just bought a couple batteries from them last week and they were extremely nice and helpful, but I won't know the quality for a few years.

My friend has gotten good life out of his (I think about 4-5 years or so) and when he thought he needed a new battery this year he went back to them to order it. Instead they told him before buying a new battery to try doing a Memory Reset. He did the reset and now his battery is working like new again. Not sure if the reset only works on their style of batteries, but that was great of them to help without selling him another battery.

I have 2 from Antique Auto battery. My yellow cap just turned 6 years old and my red cap is almost 5. I've had no issues with either battery.

Antique Auto Battery actually makes the batteries that they sell, I wonder who makes the batteries for the other place? That should be the question.

Tried once to purchase a Mopar restoration battery from that company, Restoration Battery, located at Cincinnati, OH. I experienced an awful customer service, should not even mention Customer Service in the same sentence as speaking about this company. Owner of that company, mr. Tom K. is a Chevy guy. For sure he has an opportunity to choose his customers, no argue about it, but I can't never ever recommend to anyone purchase a battery from him.

Luckily that company is not the only source in this universe for restoration batteries. I have excellent experiences from the company Antique Auto Battery, Youngstown, OH. Truly a friendly customer service and on the top of the cake, they speak Mopar. The owners of Antique Auto Battery have for instance a Dodge Polara convertible.

Don't waste your time and money with that Chebby guy, buy your battery from the friendly Mopar enthusiasts, Antique Auto Battery.
