I've had the coach for about 3 months now and have been amazed at how generally original and "untouched" it is. I had to pul apart the back bed/couch and was thinking the 20 or so screws to take it apart was a bit of an ordeal to go through to periodically service the Air tank. I saw this but I thought it was just for storing the shore power cord..

I looked closer and noticed that cord didn't go into the box. I undid the thumbscrews not knowing what to inspect and found this...

If its not the original battery it is pretty close to it. Looks the same as this one in an Ad from 77

Are the concours d'elegance judges impressed with a vintage battery? I guess I could leave it in, its built it's own Isolator.
