Not at all happy with my purchase from them. Battery took a dump in less than a year and it was a major problem to get any kind of satisfaction, they will make you jump thru the hoops. Do not recommend.

They are held together with butyl and have a Odyssey AGM battery inside that can be replaced. Make sure that you are using a charger designed for AGM batteries as well.

Sounds like there is a business opportunity here. A single source supplier that stinks. Poor customer service and a product that is clearly needed. Someone could step in and really fill a void here.

Hacksawed the battery top off about a 1-1/4" down.(from the top) found out the case sides have stops for the lid but it has silicone and epoxy to seal it. If you cut out the top ,you will cut off the stops that hold the lid.

I have one that lasted 6 plus years, never had it on a trickle charger either. I always put the cars away in October and come April just slow charge and they always work. . I have the old one saved and it’s in the garage gathering dust... Maybe it’s time to dissect it. I always see them at Carlisle. I’ll be there in the Spring. Let’s see what happens maybe they’re somewhere warm for the winter....

Some really good news to post here. I contacted Turbo Start batteries https://turbostart.com/ and they informed me that they will begin selling reproduction batteries again soon. They seemed to insinuate within the next month or so. They had stopped selling due to licensing agreement negotiations. Most of their reproduction batteries are AGM, with a few wet cell batteries due to packaging issues for manufacturing. You will be able to order off of their website or by phone if you prefer.

Antique auto battery is again making batteries but still not answering the phones. Turbo start batteries are 2 months away.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
