I have a 70SS and need ideas on a new battery that my Delco top post battery topper will fit. It seems as where I got my last one they moved the posts to the center of the battery. I can find batteries but they have the fill caps sticking up rather than the flat top sealed ones. Any brand or part numbers? Thanks.

Go to search and type in “battery topper” loads of threads

Look at the Deka 9A34. Good batteries, topper friendly. May have to paint the case.

I'll check it out. My old battery was perfect but they changed the design on the new one. Thanks.

I had the topper on a Craftsman battery for 7+ years and the new replacement battery I picked up a NAPA Premium battery and fit perfect.

I went to NAPA this afternoon with my topper and found a battery it fits. Funny that 5 years ago the same battery was $50 cheaper. A lot of really greedy people in this country.

I was going to say , Go to NAPA.

I have good luck with NAPA batteries for as little as the cars get driven. I take them out in the winter and store them in the basement with a battery tender on them.

I do almost the same. I just leave them in the car with the 2 amp Battery Tender. My OE battery in my 2010 Camaro lasted 11 years that way. My mechanic said just change it. Not reliable at that point. Could have failed at any time.

I have a battery tender on mine,winter, summer , spring or fall,unless it is being driven. Allowing a battery to decharge which they do when parked then recharge when driven can severely shorten battery life.

Costco, Interstate Group 24F AGM. For a 2012 Tundra...

Interstate batterys are one of the best batterys out there.. I usually get 8 to 10 years out of them.

I had an Interstate in my 64 Impala and that lasted over 7 years.
