Does anyone know who sells the R-59 sealed batteries?

As far as I know,they are the only ones who make/sell these.No other retailers sell them yet,as they just came out a few months ago.
I highly recommend them,as I just picked up two a few months ago.
Understand these are the new Axion owned 55lb. solid cell batteries,not just the mock casing with the smaller ATV battery inside.

Jensen got one for me through classic industries.

Axion is now offering them on Ebay as well.

the one for the 69 camaro shows yellow letters is that right?

[Mr70]

That's a Y55 Delco Battery they show in that pic.
It's just a neutral reference,as the R series were red.

And for us?

[Mr70]

Do to it's brief barely 12 month useage,none of the R-79 series batteries are scheduled to be reproduced by any of the aftermarketers in the forseeable future.
Hang onto yours Mr.C.
