Anyone have any experience with Restoration Batteries? Read mixed reviews. Recommendations for 71? Thanks

Is this for some award-winning car? If not, just buy one from Wal-Mart. It's hidden inside a box behind the driver's seat, anyway.

And, if it is for an award-winning car, you should be posing this question to the organization who judges and dispenses the awards.

If have been using Sears Die Hard for many, many years. No need for a $300 dollar battery from Restoration unless you are doing NCRS judging.
