My battery on my 69 Camaro is just about dead. I am looking to get a new side post battery that is the old style R89. Ricks has one for $285..WOW. Is there another source? I see there are battery toppers...but I have only found R59 top post. Do they make a side post battery topper? Is there a way to convert a R59 top post topper to a side post topper? If anyone knows where to get an R89 for a better price then Rick, please let me know. I was looking to spend about $150 at most. If not, I guess I will just get a regular battery for now and wait to see if a side post topper ever gets produced.

Yes, there is - Restoration Battery in Cincinnati is the manufacturer (www.restorationbattery.com); that's where Rick's (and others) probably get them. They sell the maintenance-free side-terminal R89S for $250.00.
