I replied that all the documentation that I have seen states green. She (Alice) said her docs state yellow and offered either option. It will be 3-4 weeks before it will be built and shipped, so I have time to change my mind on color. The total price including shipping was $351.00.


Just do like JDroadrunner and I did and buy extra different color caps. John got red, green and yellow and is covering all of the bases. I bought the yellow and red caps for my GTX and A12 if I ever want or need to transfer the battery from one car to the other. I got the group 27 (physically slightly larger in dimension compared to the A12's standard group 24) and just to have a little fun if someone says I have the wrong color caps I thought about doing this: wink tonguue

Keep the trickle charger on them, they cost too much to shorten their lives. I have had mine for 9 years +

Which brings up my next question. All of my chargers are Deltran Battery Tenders. The datasheets on models from CTEK, NOCO, and Victron indicate more advanced technology. Anybody have experience on these brands?

I use the Deltran and it works fine on my last agm batt that lasted 11 yrs. Finally broke down and got another Mopar repro batt from Jim's Battery. Had it for only a yr now, so far so good.
