H2 battery case

[1955fle]

I want to use a 6v sealed acid battery and want to put it in a sock H2 battery case. I know someone was making them. Any idea who?

Geoff Erdos was making cases however I do not know if he still is.

Lowbrow customs has a Bates just go to their site and search battery box. I have several of Jeff’s and they look more like an original battery but you cannot see that part when they are installed. I have 1 Bates from lowbrow customs and it looks and works good. It is also cheaper and amca members get 10 percent off.

I too am considering the battery box that Low Brow shows for the 6-volt look. I'm wondering whether you would know what brand of 12-volt battery would fit in that box.

I use the anti gravity 801 lithium ion which is also available from lowbrow. In my experience though you have to use a modern voltage regulator with these or any sealed battery.

I too was looking into a battery box to install my Yuasa YTZ14S sealed battery 12V. I emailed Jeff Erdos about his battery box. The inner dimensions of his box are 4" x 3.5" x 7". The Yuasa YTZ14S is too big. I believe the 10AH Yuasa YTZ Battery will fit either Jeff's or Bates box.

Here is a link I found here on the Panhead site that led me to David Sarafan which led me to Chris Daniel below. Good luck!

Bob

When you say "modern" regulator, would an electronic style cutout relay that's a Delco look-alike work?

If your generator has been converted to 2 brush, sealed battery's do not like 3 brush

That’s what I use with no problems. It is not a cut out relay it is a voltage regulator in a case that looks like the oem cut out relay on the outside

OK....Thanks for the clarification, and the battery info.

Aren't OEM 12-volt generators all 2-brush?

[pan620]

Yes, but the original poster was asking about 6v, and you never mentioned 6 or 12.

Sorry, my bad. I kinda hijacked the original post.
