Re: [Chrysler300] Mopar Battery

[Mark Souders <MRS954@xxxxxxx>]

I bought one of those gel batteries from Antique Auto Battery about four years ago. Paid $255. This summer, it started to lose it umph. I replaced it with a battery from East Penn Mfg (DEKA batteries) where my wife works. (850 CCA). It's the type with a flat top and two rectangular vent caps. I pried off the caps, and inserted the red caps from my Antique battery into the six holes. I had to file off the threads from the red caps so they fit into the holes. I filed just enough off to make it a snug friction fit. I removed the DEKA sticker from the side of the battery. I bought one of those stickers with the forward look arrow and Mopar on it, and placed it on the visible side of the battery.  Those who have seen my car in Lake George know that it looks almost as good as an original. If you're interested in seeing pics, I can take some and send them to you tonight.

i Group, 
  
I just lost my correct looking " Mopar gel battery" due to my painter trying to 
ither jump start or charging it with a standard 40 amp charger. 
  
I am not sure that I want to replace it with another gel battery with the 
orrect looking casing - $314 with shipping! 
  
I checked the new batteries at my local Chrysler dealer and they now just have a 
arge Mopar sticker on the exposed side - No Thanks! 
  
Does anyone have any suggestions for a new battery source that looks at least 
omewhat correct?
