Group 27 Restoration Battery

Does anyone still make the red cap group 27 MoPar script battery? It seems they are out of stock everywhere.

Try battery central mall.... got my red cap /27 in may, great battery turns over the 440 easily . Ask for Wayne ,he'll set you up.
phone; 804-861-0165 or ; www.BatteryCentralMall.com .....good luck.

Later,BUZZ

Excellent. Thank you.

I still have better luck just gutting my old group 27 batteries and hiding lightweight racing batteries inside of them for less then half of the price, and they go from like 46 lbs to 11-12 lbs. Still looks original when done.

. Thanks. I like that idea but I threw the old case out.

Wow, could this be the new source for the hard to find Mopar batteries? Hopefully they have stock on hand!

They have several MoPar batteries in stock but not the red caps, they will be back in stock by April. Really nice guy, plan to order one for spring. Thanks.

What is the correct battery for 70 RR....and 68 Charger

Good luck with the battery. My experience was very poor. Takes your full payment up front (on January 28). Estimated ship month May or June. June comes and goes, no correspondence...late July early August new promise date. Early August comes and goes, no word. So I email on August 7....no response. Receive an automated ship notice on August 16. Now the fun part...cold cranking amps on this thing must be on the order of 200 CCA. Would barely crank the motor. I figured it was a new tight / rebuilt motor. Charged it fully, same thing. Got to MCACN and the car would not start to get off the trailer...had to push the car into place at the show. Went out and bought a regular battery at O'Reilly's the second day at MCACN and the car fired up instantly and STRONG. Sent an email to Wayne at Battery Central expressing my displeasure, and never heard back. Battery was tossed in the garbage. I spoke with four other people at MCACN with the same experience of a lousy battery that would barely crank the car. People talk of having to baby the batteries by trickle charging them constantly. This thing would not crank the engine with a full fresh charge. We also believe it was the cause of some relays not working properly on the car during troubleshooting. So, again, good luck.

Well that stinks.

Any other sources for these batteries?

At this point just sell them without the lead guts and opened up underneath. Cheaper to ship too.

That gas become the best option. Just stick one inside. Or carry the gutted case to put in while on Show field

Sometimes we should look to the other makes. I was speaking with a corvette collector at MCACN. He told me that as long as it’s a Delco battery, there are no point deductions. I didn’t ask if that were true for the highest judging classes, but he told me they can just go buy a battery at the local Chevy dealer and they are good. Doesn’t help if you are one that wants an original look. On the battery, I have to admit that the only reason I bought it was to satisfy others due to the show venue. From now on forget that. LOL

After my 1st ( and last ) experience with a restoration type battery. I'll pass


I just bought an Autozone battery along with the ebay battery caps and called it good. Starts the car just fine, looks the part to 90% of the viewers looking at it

Is Jim’s Battery officially closed? I did buy from him after antique auto battery shut down with no issues. Needing to replace my group 24 yellow cap I bought from antique auto battery, yes I’ve had it that long and still works but is showing signs of getting weak.
