A good top post battery
 

Simple question I think, I need a good, durable top post battery for the almost done L78 Nova, not going with the Repo job, heard there are too many problems. Just want a good, durable battery for a car that will see mostly limited use etc. Thanks in advance

Turbostart/Axion came out with a really good Sealed Delco Top Post R-59 just this past summer,that has a Sears DieHard like guts,meaning it's not a smaller downscaled ATV battery inside,but rather solid gel cells just like todays car batteries.It weighs roughly 50 lbs. and is completely maintenance free with a dead on look of the original R-59.
I bought two this summer and they both perform flawlessly with a 4 year warranty.They can crank forever if need be,rated at 650 cca.
I paid $150 for each battery before shipping,as they do discount on some volume orders. SR-59 Battery (The script comes in red,not yellow as the pic shows.)

I have an Optima in the Corvette for driving and a Tar Top for showing... I also have an Optima in my daily driver. No issues what so ever. Ran me about $150+/-

I use the Delco Professional series top post batteries...they are the same size as the older originals and you can put one of the plastic covers on for the correct look....they retail for around $50-60...

Jim, Lotsa places market Delco Batteries. You can get them from any GM dealer and quite a few aftermarket retailers like CarQuest etc.

If you just want a battery that you can put a "topper" on, you can get one that fits at WalMart.
