As I recall, the club judges do not deduct any points for any black battery with original post connections and screw-in filler caps. I stripped the vinyl labels from a HD Group 2 battery and it looks fine. Seems like it would be simple to prepare vinyl stick on labels that emulated the original battery exteriors. Earlier feedback was that the reproduction batteries looked ok, but did not have a good life. Original-appearing plastic no-name battery cases are available to house the new dry-type super batteries. For the Optima battery info, see: http://www.1st-optima-batteries.com/faq.asp I think the Packard Club was peddling the battery cases, but I was unable to open their catalog.

Guess I'll stick with my Group 27. Thought I needed to go to an original reproduction type. I like to keep everything as original as I can. But, it sounds like it's not really necessary, in this case. Tom B.
