AC Delco Battery


MC-71

Recommended Posts

Trying to make a decision on a new AC Delco Battery. I used to buy the 78-5YR but seems to be discontinued. I'm looking

 

at a AC Delco 78-AGM. Price is from 156.00 to 300.00 bucks. What the heck is up with these prices? Tires up, wheels up. so glad I did my resto years ago. Give me some AC Delco numbers if you guys have them.

Hi Carl, I am not sure if you are looking for an original looking reproduction style of battery or just a battery to put into your car to start it.

 

I purchased an original looking style of battery for my Monte. Everything looks completely original but is a maintenance free battery but has "non-functioning" battery fill caps, including the viewing lens in one of the caps.

New Castle Battery got out of the restoration battery business years ago and is now named DuBois Electric Storage Battery.

 

And Restoration Battery has decided to permanently close.

 

I think this company can still help:

Thanks. Not looking for the original battery. Just the series 78. I would prefer a AC Delco battery. I have the battery topper I will put on it.
