Nos battery Prep
Hey folks
I have a question on using an original NOS delco battery that's still factory sealed. Using a NOS Delco Y87 and need to know what to do with the factory hole filler delco puts in each hole. Looks like a wax or plastic but do I need to pull these out or just push them in and fill the battery. Last edited by wayoutz; 03-05-2020 at 07:35 PM.

Use the medium size. If someone would just modify the pic size on the site.

Just push them into the battery, I bought a NOS battery for my Corvette last year pushed in the wax plugs and filled it with acid.
Works great... When it kicks the bucket I am going to put a gel battery inside it.

[QUOTE=wayoutz;1487579]Well I gave it to a mechanic that thought the wax plugs should have been pulled out rather than pushed in and cracked one of the fill holes
The reproduction battery tops are not the same as originals(they take a 30% deduct in NCRS), they show divisions between the cells in the actual molded plastic. If one of the holes is cracked then just gut the battery and put a braille inside of it... I had considered just gutting mine before putting acid in it, but then numerous people said I should just use the battery until it stops working then gut it and put a braille inside of it... so it's now been working great for over a year. https://www.yenko.net/forum/showthread.php?t=148133
