Hi,
I have an R89W from Restoration Battery. I've had it about 2 years and been pleased with it. I check it about once a month to see if it needs a charge, and I've had to charge it a little while just once.
My understanding is it's a modern battery in a reproduction case.
If judging is in your future I believe you'll find that the 'W' battery does better than the 'S' battery. This is because the "W" case is a more accurate reproduction than the 'S' case. The case can be date coded too.
If this battery is for your 72 bb I think the 'W' is the choice for you anyway.
Regards,
Alan
