Anyone reproduce these?  If so, has anyone had any luck with them lasting more than 2 1/2 years?

I've gotten a ton of years out of mine.  I think @wanderlustin  is the battery expert!  He's the one that gave me the tips to make them last.

I got mine from here. Lead time was three weeks from time the order was placed.

Got tired of issues and waiting on TurboStart to sort out themselves. I believe Antique Auto Battery is now Jim's out of Youngstown Ohio.

@RSI700VIPER whever battery you choose, pick up a good maintainer right away.  This is the one that Dolores at Antique Auto Battery recommended (see file attachment).  Also keep the memory "reset" procedure (also attached).  It works!  Now I'm wondering if the reset could apply to the on-the-shelf voltage loss that @MoparDave described in a thread yesterday.  Thanks for the tag @Cuda Cody!

I used a reproduction group 27 battery for the past 5 years.  I maintained it on a charger for the times I wasn't driving.  This year it gave up the ghost.  I replaced it with a AGM battery, group 27 from my local parts store.  My new battery is much stronger and my car starts much much easier!!  I loved the look of the original battery, but I feel it is not worth the look for the better performance of a new battery.  Knowing this through experience, I would not use the reproduction battery unless I was doing a 100pt. show car. 
Good luck on your new reproduction battery.

Saw one of those battery capper jobs tody at a car show.  Had the red top filler caps and old mopar decals on the side.  From 10 feet away, I was almost fooled.  The guy said it cost 29 bucks.
