Looking for a red-cap, group 27 battery topper

[1967GTX440]

Can someone point me to a company that sells these please? most of the ones I'm seeing on the web are for the smaller grp 24 batteries.

Thanks!

Thanks rdrunner1974,

But I'm looking for the FAKE top that resembles the grp 27 red cap battery that was in the car when built... this site looks like it sells the complete battery.

Like these guys, however in the bigger grp 27 category.

I have a complete group 27 battery that is a FAKE. Got it for "show purposes".....yeah.....that's it........for shows.

Might be willing to part with it, but it cost me as much as a loaded one

Thanks 69,

But my car is a driver, not any where near "show" - I need a low maintenance solution, the cover would be the best way now - my mopar battery is brand new (previous owner installed).

I appreciate the reply as always!

Thanks

I don't know if you can find just the caps, I got lucky when my buddy ordered a green cap battery and it came with yellow caps. The battery co. sent him green caps and told him to keep the yellows, he gave them to me. I have a interstate battery in my car, so I ground down the yellow cap threads untill they pushed into the interstate battery. So npw I have a balck case battery with yellow Mopar caps now.
I was looking into the toppers, but they really dont fit all that good and you will have to modify your battery hold down for it to fit.

If you decide to get the reproduction battery spend the extra money and get the maintanance free one. It's actually has a sealed battery inside the reproduction case.

No Gel Cells!!

I have seen quite a few Repro Gel Cell batteries. I have not owned any of the Repro gel cells but dealt with them in the past and have had nothing but bad luck. They can't be charged with a normal battery charger that everyone owns and if they go completely dead they are basically junk. I am not sure if they have gotten better over the years but 5 years ago every one of them I dealt with was junk. I am looking at the cover for my '69 Roadrunner just so I know what I have underneath.

I know a guy that bought one of the repo ones and leaves it dry. When he gets parked at the show he pops out his driver battery and installs the dry repo. It's light weight, won't leak any acid, and won't wear out! He'll probably be pissed when he reads me giving away his secret but you can move it from car to car in less than 5 minutes and you're only investing the big money once.
