Yes, that is what the website says but when you inquire further you
find that they do not have any and don't expect to make any.  Some of
us have been around this track a time or two already.

>In a word NO, reproduction 17L tar-top batteries from Vintage Battery Company are no longer available.  They cannot get quality lead plates anymore, and it seems that no one makes a maintenance free 6V battery that will fit into their reproduction Lucas cases.  They still make the slightly taller battery that is used in the MGA which is a maintenance free battery but it's slightly too tall to use in the 100s.
