So how did he get the eye to glow I wonder? Really cool someone was able to do this and save a piece of history normally recycled.

Not sure how he achieved that result. He can do just about anything.

What's NCRS's thoughts on batteries like this?
Could be looked at like they'd look at a re-stamped block?

Very good question👍

It would be judged like any component. If it varies from original such that a judge can articulate, it would receive the requisite, specific deduction based on NCRS guidelines.

If the decal, date format, dimensions, color, etc vary from original, an appropriate deduction would rightfully be made. Further, if the condition varies from new, a deduction would rightfully be made from that side of the scoresheet.

On the other hand, if a judge says there is no way that battery could still be viable, and then makes a deduction, the owner could appeal to the team leader and, most likely, the appeal would be successful. Prior knowledge also is no basis for a deduction.

If it walks like a duck...

Mark is absolutely correct. Also the R is restoration so if it looks correct then not a deduct. Think Stainless Steel sleeved calipers. Can't see it so cannot judge it. External as compared to original and condition. So since this is the original battery case, it has to get full credit. Now if the label was removed and replaced with a replica, could have a deduction there IF not an exact match.


I made 88 - 90 LPTWS label that are identical to original, no deductions. Mark has an incredible piece of history that was most likely a Press test ZR-1 / KoH. The fact it was not crushed is awesome as so few of those still exist.
