How is it?
Can anyone who bought one recently give me their opinion on it.
Is it better then the weeping electrolyte battery for reliability & starting power?
Is it worth the cost of $208 compared to the $149 electrolyte battery?

I bought the new sealed battery for my 68 Chevelle early this past winter and it's been fine. My car sits for weeks/months at a time and it has had plenty of starting power with no trickle charger keeping it charged. I think it's a huge improvement over the acid R-59 I've had in the past.
Bought one early this year, also. Well worth it.

Bought mine about 16 months ago....absolutly no problems. Let it sit for four months while my car was on display at OPG, cranked over no problem.
Thanks Guys.
I really do appreciate your input. :thumbsup:

For the extra $50, I would have gladly paid that vs the old electrolyte R59 repop that leaked acid all over my engine compartment. Caused quite a bit of damage and was a major clean up. Spend the extra $50.

I love mine. I keep it plugged into my autometer trickle charger with no problems after 2 years.
