This came from the Austin-Healey list but may be helpful since some T
series cars take type 27 batteries:
Antique Battery Supply in Ohio now supplies the best of both worlds as
far as I'm concerned. I recently purchased one of their absolutely
accurate Lucas style moulded Group 27 batteries with all the correct
details for a BJ8 restoration, but they have an Optima battery sealed
inside the moulded Lucas case. The battery has a 10 year Optima
warranty, there is no fussing with an acid battery, no topping up, no
gassing, etc. Unscrew any of the Lucas filler caps and there's the
bright orange Optima unit inside! Of course lots of warning tags and
literature about not adding acid or water to this case!

Another lister had more info:
The only site on the Web that I can find is "Antique Auto Battery" in Ohio at
www.antiqueautobattery.com, but they list only lead acid batteries (although
the banner on their home page says "Ask us about our maintenance free sealed
batteries").
Is this the place? If not, do you have the contact info for the supplier
you're talking about?

*And the response*:

*That's the place. Sorry I misquoted their name. As they state, ask them
about their maintenance free sealed batteries.
