What is the correct battery for a 1970 Cuda'. red, yellow, green caps?
Where is the best place to purchase one?
Do these batteries last as long as a good quality local parts story battery.

Thank you

Standard equipment would have been a group 24 with yellow caps.
Optional would be group 27 with red caps.

I have a Turbo Start Mopar AGM Group 27 Red cap battery in our 340 Cuda.
I prefer to have the additional capacity and cold cranking amps.
It's been in there since 2012, I keep it on a CTEK Battery Charger/Maintainer designed for use on AGM batteries when parked.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy horsepower and that's kind of the same thing.....

I thought they were out of stock everywhere, but Jegs says ships Monday ? :dunno:

That's not exactly what Jegs says on their website...

"Estimated to ship direct from manufacturer on 01/23/23, pending manufacturer availability."

         "Pending Manufacturer Availability" is key... 

Group 27 Red Top show out of stock at TurboStart. But their Group 24 Green and Yellow tops show in stock.
