Not concours but......

I found an Autolite battery cap and decal kit on Ebay. While it is far from concours correct it is an improvement over the bright yellow and red stickers that came on the battery. Chuck

I ordered a set, had been thinking about this a while back. It'll look tons better than the Walmart battery's sticker package....

It sure does! I had a crazy expensive reproduction battery when I built the car. It wa an AGM battery, it lasted 2.5 years. So yeah, I did put a Wal-Mart battery in it and it is still working. Oh no, did I just curse myself? Chuck

My last WM 24F battery is still going strong after 14 years. I bought a new one when I built the 351, so I gave it to a buddy a couple months ago for the 68 he just picked up. Says it hasn't given him any trouble yet.

WM also has their own AGM batteries under the Platinum line. I haven't seen availability in my area yet, but I might get one when they do show up, as they are half the price of the Optima line.

Here in Phoenix Arizona, just about ANY acid/lead battery will last no more than three years. The excessive desert heat just burns them out.
