Could go to your local dealer and get a Mopar group 24 battery.  Just don't put cheap Walmart battery in a new resto.

Autozone has a Duralast Gold with some 1000cca -  they very rarely ever get returned either -

Not sure what Kragen sells - i would think they have something similar

2013 Dodge Challenger R/T - 5.7L Hemi / 6-speed / 3.73 Limited Slip

Optima?.......

I've always been stunned about the power they put out compared to other brands of the same size. I often use them in forklifts of clients that store their machines outside and they do a great job on starting big diesel engines on a cold winter morning....
I'll be using one in my car for sure, altough they're pricey.

NOS is nice, turbo's are neat, but when it comes to Mopars, there's no need to cheat...

If you are getting a restoration battery do not buy the acid filled ones with removable caps. Only buy the gel filled one with the sealed caps. The first type I mentioned are crap and don't last and are prone to cracking as well - spilling acid all over your paint.

Is anyone still making the acid/removable cap version?


maxwellwedge

It looks like they list all the Mopar batteries as the newer sealed type but still show some acid/dry shipped for the other brands. There probably is some old inventory out there still so make sure before you buy.

I wan't sure if you were wanting a correct-looking battery or not. If not I would probably get one of those Autozone Duralast Gold batteries like Thunder mentioned above. I have one in my Durango and it works great.

no it dosen't have to look totaly correct but i will go to dodge daler ship and see if there is a mopar battery if not i wil go with autozone thanks  tom
