Battery Central Mall
 
Has anyone purchased a battery from this company (Battery Central Mall). If so, how do you like their product. If not, what companies are you buying batteries for your cars that are being judged.

I did some recent research as I am in the market for one for our 409 car. It appears Battery Central Mall (https://batterycentralmall.com/product-category/gm/) distributes for Jim's Batteries (https://www.jimsbattery-mfg.com/) as Jim's apparently is the only manufacturer for the reproduction tar top style batteries anymore. Not sure if you can buy direct from Jim's or not - doesn't appear so from their website.

I placed an order yesterday from Battery Central for a DC-12 for our car - lead time is approximately 3-4 weeks.

I will report back once I recieve mine.

I bought one from them for my 67 Camaro about 6 months ago. Delivery took about 6 weeks. The smaller battery inside is AGM. So, if you’re going to keep it on a trickle charger make sure that it has an agm setting.

Good point.

I bought an AGM charger for my wife's car a few years back so I can use that.

I didn't understand the differences - so I found an article that helps explain, specifically on the charging:

There’s a lithium battery setting as well.

Update - the DC-12 cases are still not made yet so they are telling me end of July now.

I just bought a RS71 for my Olds, it was in stock and on its way. I also have a RS71 I bought Years ago from Antique Battery Co. It has a battery inside and I am going to replace it with an AGM.
