What's the difference between the R 59 and R 69. I have a old original R-59 that has been laying around for a least 40 years. An don't know what to do with it.

A R-69 is just a little taller. About an inch I think.

That's just a list of repo batteries that are available. The R-69 was a mid year battery for Olds in 66.

I didn't realize they didn't list that one, it was also used in other GM cars. I wonder if they might consider repopping it.

I talked to them about repoing the R-69 but they said it wasn't cost effective. I found it strange they would say that because the Vettes among other cars used it.
