R71S Delco Energizer Classic Battery
I contacted Turbostart another potential candidate for making the Oldsmobile R71S Delco battery. They didn't say no, but they weren't promising either. In my opinion, Battery Central Mall and Jim's Battery are complete failures when it comes to a source for a reproduction battery.

Funny, I called JEGS, where I first saw the R59 by this particular producer. The tech guy at JEGS told me there had to be demand for the R71S battery. I said to him that's why I'm on the phone; I want to purchase one. I think my response went over his head.

I did provide pictures.

Regarding the reproduction R71S, were they all AGMs? Were there ever any made in traditional lead plate?
I believe the R59 reproduction is more popular than the R71S as there were many more applications. The Chevelle SS with the standard top post battery for example. These must be small manufacturing operations as their product lines are so narrow.

Antique Auto Battery...web site is now: https://www.antiqueautobattery.com/
By the writing style and word choice in the articles, apparently non-native speakers of English purchased the web address.
I read one of the articles (H7 vs 94R) and the number of errors and the extent of misinformation was laughable. There was apparently zero research done, because H7 and 94R are the identical battery size--H7 being the European designation and 94R the BCI designation.
Cross that website off your list.
