Default Re: R79 Side Post Battery Supplier

Both Restoration Battery and Antique Auto Battery sell them. They are fairly accurate except for the decal which DC remade correctly. I have had fairly good luck with them as long as you keep a constant charge on them. If they go down it will depend on how long they have been dormant as to whether you can revive them or not. They are fairly temperamental. I personally would not use one as a daily driver and would use it only for show. I have never heard of the melt down or exploding. I would use one for a time until it pooped out, gut it and use it as a fake for show only.
