There is nothing in any Chrysler Corporation literature that guarantees you 
will get any particular battery, much less a battery labelled "Mopar".
Autolite was listed as the main supplier of electrical devices (starters, 
generators, regulators, distributors, coils, spark plug, points, condensors 
and coils for Chrysler Corporation from about 1935 through to 1961.  Prior 
to that it was Delco-Remy.  Leece-Neville supplied alternators before 1960 
and H-D units from 1960.   With Ford's purchase of the Autolite name and 
their spark plug plant, the remainder of the firm adopted the name 
Prestolite, a company owned by Autolite.  Chrysler started manufacturing 
their own alternators for 1960, starters for 1962 and distributors. 
Prestolite (who own Leece-Neville) continued to supply some distributors and 
starters while Champion became the main spark plug supplier.
"Mopar" batteries were basically aftermarket units, and probably built for 
Chrysler by Autolite.
So, before you haul someone to court for fraud in a lawsuit, make sure you 
are on solid ground.  You are going to have to prove Chrysler cars were 
built with "Mopar" batteries installed at the factory and that Chrysler made 
some sort of statement to that effect, basically at least implying a 
guarantee your next new Mopar car or truck will have a "Mopar" battery. 
And, to be quite honest, I do not believe you will find any such 
implication.   And you will have to prove how this "fraud" has had a 
detrimental affect on you.
