Y77 Bat.

[RRMs69Z]

Is there a reproduction Y77 battery on the market?  I assume there is not since I searched Chris site and the web and could only find "R" repro batteries. Thanks. FYI. I took my Z out for her maiden voyage yesterday. Wow, great sound and lots of fun!  It feels good bringing a car back from the dead.

Not that I've seen.  No Y55 reverse polarity for the earlier 69Z's either.  Can't even get a correct battery topper for these, lol.

Thanks.

I actually contacted a couple companies about the Y55, and asked if they would reproduce one. I was told that there is just not enough demand to retool and make them.. I always refer to them as reverse post. Reverse polarity to me, never sounded right, sounds like a positive ground thing, or similar. Like you are changing something. JMHO... The polarity isn't being changed, just the posts are being switched, right? Still a 12 volt negative ground. Just happens to be moved to the other side. Danny

Correct on that Danny. The posts are just reversed. Reversing the polarity is changing a positive ground system to a negative ground system. I've done this quite a few times on some British cars, early Jaguar XK's and Land Rover Series trucks as such. Actually really easy and not much involved.

That's awesome Danzo. Yep, new garage, but I don't plan to put anything around the car. I told my wife I am building a garage, she said we don't need a garage...that's when I told her I bought the car. Needless to say I am now buying carpet and painting the house.

Sounds like a great trade to me...

That's how it is referred around here.  Actually the parts book at the local store even has it printed as reverse polarity.  Not that it matters, I don't think they care about technicalities, only that it is understood.  Hard battery to find even in a modern battery.  Costco doesn't even carry it in their Interstate line.  I had to get an off brand name from Napa and even that had to be ordered in.

Yep, I'm doing a Y55 with a R59 battery topper.  Takes a little work to reverse the terminal designations (reverse polarity, darn there's that word again )  I'll have to respray it then some detail paint work etc..  and make my own Y55 stickers, but it will look the part.

I have had 5 Y55's over the years. A couple early ones, and a couple service replacements without the "ENERGIZER" embossed on the top. Chick got one of my best ones, if not THE best one, also mike, another member here. I picked one up a while back in very nice NOS condition. It is a service replacement.
