Battery
Anyone know where I can buy a 6 volt dry cell, that's the same size as the wet cell, about 35 years ago I ran one in my '48 Pan, it was maintenance free and lasted over 10 years, Was wondering if they still sell them

Re: Battery
Had very good luck with this one. It will also fit in a carved out wet cell box. Forum member "erdos" on caimag.com also sells the complete unit.

Re: Battery
WHITEY---2yrs. ago AUTOZONE started carrying Absorbed Glass matt, Batteries!----I know they have 12-VOLT ones,--But I would check into it & see if 6-volts are available. I am on my second year using a -(AGM)-type battery.Its 12-Volts & it can be mounted upsidedown if need be!--Mine is sideways with the NEG. down!. It has 320cca, for Electric-start bikes. Also they take ALOT of abuse!--Banging around, Hi-TEMPATURE!--Wont affect its performance!--Cost was $99, But there are other AGM batteries that cost $49 to $69 & they would of fit in my oiltank no problem!-(Mine is on its side).---GOOD-LUCK----RICHIE

Re: Battery
Richie,
Since I am going to the US on Friday, do you happen to have a part number on that battery so I can check the local parts store ?
And, Mr Big, without going over the website's entire listing.........Do you know if they got one of them in 12 Volt, for my WLA??
Thanks to you both.
George

Re: Battery
George, to my knowledge Eagle Picher does not have a 12 v version that will fit the HD box. I think they're are other brands that might.....
