I bought one a couple years ago, and suddenly it's went bad. I kept it in a car and started it on occasion. (disconnected when not in use)
I must've lost all info from the battery. I beileve they're out of the Cincinnati area.
I’m in the process of gutting my nine year old Axion Turbostart for an Odyssey conversion. Axion went bankrupt in 2018 which is a damn shame cause this thing was built like a tank and was still going strong at 9 years old. I bought it from Summit in Jan 2011. I killed the batt on purpose cause I was getting nervous about its age, it was a group 27 and weighed...get this.....58 pounds. Unreal. Damn fine battery. Oh well, the case is nice, and will live on.

Bill IIRC a company in Youngstown makes repo batterys.Cant remember the name but Google should have it.Rocky True: It's called Antique Auto Battery in Youngstown, Ohio https://www.theoldcarguys.com/resources/listings/aab-antique-auto-battery/But if you go on Google Maps, it shows that it's closed permanently and it also shows "Jim Battery Manufacturing Co" So I'm wondering if Jim took over the business and if he kept the same business model. ??? Attached is a screenshot from Google maps to support my facts. - Red arrow pointing to the permanently closed. - Green arrow pointing to Jim's.

As I posted above, I just gutted a 9 year old one that was still working. I would have paid $250 for one in a heartbeat. Bought mine from Summit back in 2011 for $200. It was a pain in the ass to gut, really well made.

I don't think I would want a repo battery.... I mean yeah, they have gone way up in price these past couple years.... but I haven't yet had to make payments on one. I need to get to work still, and if my battery gets repo'd overnite, I can't go to work. Yeah....”repro”.....we get it.

I find it astonishing that no one has stepped up and started reproducing repro batteries. Most people I know in the hobby would love to have one under their hood. More astonishing is that at $380 a pop (the last price I paid for one), companies who made these went out of business.
