Re: New Delco R-59 Sealed Battery Survey
Just got my Marine Corp Nova back today from PA. We used one of the sealed 59's for the last show in July. Took the battery out of the truck and brought it inside and what do I see but a crack in the plastic top!!!!! Maybe I just have a dark cloud following me. I don't know, but it sure seems strange....no apparent leakage yet. will try to take photo and post for you guys to see.

Re: New Delco R-59 Sealed Battery Survey
I just received mine and I think it is going back.....the overmoulded plastic case does not come close to appearing as a stock battery would look......the plastic has shrunk significantly where the ribs inside the battery top are so it has a Cheap plastic look.......the caps are also very poorly made......it's very obvious that it is not a stock battery.....just my $.02

Re: New Delco R-59 Sealed Battery Survey
I bought one of the earlier acid R59 May 03 and the new sealled R59 back in April 05 and that one is still in the box, I've only opened it to inspect it and charge it and I'm happy with both of them.
