I;m looking for a Repro R-59 Battery. A dead one, is fine. Or is some company, making the R-59 battery again? Thanks BBBenny

I got one that is only a couple years old but they did not put enough water in it and it will not hold a charge good. It is in like new condition. I just purchased a new one to replace it. 330-770-2517

You can use a topper, one of the green eyes I use on the freedoms will work in them.
