These are molded in blue plastic.

The Interstate 6 year warranty battery doesn't have a logo on the terminal side and is the correct white. 78 series works well with the toppers.

I'm still waiting for an R71 topper for my 3 71 Cutlasses with 455s. As it is just a longer R59, it shouldn't be a problem to produce.

Here's a Christmas Special for Classic Olds Members, thru Christmas, Freedom toppers are $65 plus $15 shipping, your choice, Freedom or Freedom II. (See above video)
As seen retail in catalogs for, $79.95, get one on this site at a deal!
When used with the 6 yr interstate 78 series battery, the white case along w/ the topper is the closest thing you can get to the OEM look.

Merry Christmas! Post here for wants

A new mold would be thousands of dollars. Easy but expensive. They are going with what is common. You may have to make one out of 2 toppers.

Do you have a picture of the black topper? I think this would work on 80's Cutlass.

Here’s a pic. 78 series batters as the blue topper. The eye is a 2 pc plexi, not a decal.
Recently a guy bought one for his Monday, he was very happy with it he said in an email.

Here’s the new topper on a current new battery. The black toppers really pop, you will like. The green eye isn’t a decal, it’s 2 pcs of plexi , one green, the top is clear, same as the blue toppers.
i need someone to,explain the upload process, not sure how I did it.

To post pictures read this link, toppers are looking good. You ought to make some for other battery styles for the older cars. With the Antique batteries getting more expensive I would think there would be a lot of interest.

New in, a repro of the hard to find freedom battery card, should be in your glovebox lit if your car had one from the factory. printed just as orig. printed on both sides. $10 shipped in a reg envelope. More protection more.

Looking to buy a blue Freedom II topper and one of these cards shipped together to CT, what would total cost be. I am fed up with Modern Delco Batteries going dead before their time and the heck with their warrantees, I want something that can tough out CT winters of starting the car only a few times a month. So I'm switching to one of the Interstate white batteries for my 79 Cutlass and your topper will fit the bill in hiding my lack of sticking with Delco. THx,
gene

For a limited time, you can get your choice of the 4 toppers avail and a free battery brochure, these are hard to find, some cars had them in the glovebox paperwork. 1 topper, 1 brochure, $65 plus $15 Priority ship in the CONUS. ( includes $50 insc insc. if more is needed, you can add more if you like. ) 2 toppers can ship for the $15, but only has $50 insc.)
Get your car ready for spring. These toppers fit a 78 series battery, white interstate battery’s looks closest to factory, smaller battery’s will have a slight over hang on end. But hardly noticeable. hurry, this deal won’t last long.
Eye is not a decal, All 4 toppers have the 2 pc plexi eye that looks real.

SHOWN, BOTH SIDES OF THE BROCHURE

Only a couple people want that, if you and a couple guys want to pay the dig fee, it’s around $100. I’ll do a run of decals. Which is around 25 sets. I’ll pay for those Like I said, your the second person that wants that decal, yes we can have it made, but I can’t pay for more that’s just sitting around. And the topper we do is a 104, 75-60 same as that one.
also, that set of decals would have to be re worked for a 78 series battery, that’s a tiny battery. That is included in the $100 dig fee.

Also, Interstate quit making the white case battery’s like I said was going to happen at some point. They are all black now. For a whit case, if you didn’t get one, you have to paint the case yourself.

It's alright. I decided to give it a whirl myself. Prototype decals, but they'll work. Final product will be nicer, plus I have to figure out exactly where to stamp the hole in the decal for the eye, and then I'm set. I might not even bother redoing the caution label since the info is the same.

The new 296 topper is in. $75, $15 priority ship, for a limited time, I’ll toss in a freedom battery brochure for your glove box paperwork. Yellow decal isn’t stuck, that’s why it looks that way.
