I think I am going to drain it and cut the guts out. and try to adapt a Braille battery. I already have a Braille (it is what I use in the Opel GT, relocated with the spare tire). If is useless to me the way it is. I thought I had seen a video or two outlining the procedure, but can't find any thing.

I am guessing the best place to cut is the bottom, as it won't show when installed.

Any help or guidance of any kind would be appreciated.
Lynn, I believe the battery is a repop. Maybe the R89 is different than an R59 but on those, there is not a lip on the top of the battery case on OEM batteries where the repops have a lip. Hope this helps.
