Subject: Re: [Healeys] 6 volt batteries
Three years ago I purchased 17HF batteries from Antique Auto Battery
(antiqueautobattery.com) where they put a ?valve regulated sealed power unit?
(i.e. maintenance free) into their antique battery case. It looks like a
regular tar-top battery with a Lucas logo on it. It measures 7-3/8? x 6-1/2? x
9? High to the top of the posts. Not sure if it would be too tall for a 100 but
it fits my 100-6 just fine.
Not cheap but it keeps the installation neat.

Subject: [Healeys] 6 volt batteries
Immediately after reading the inquiry regarding 6 volt batteries, I viewed my
friends new old car British made 53 Lagonda he had just imported from Portugal,
which had 2 new Exide 6 Volt batteries under the bonnet. I decided to see if
they were available just in case they failed in the near future. Googling
Exide 6 volt batteries or 6 volt batteries went nowhere. Found the most
information from the Model T, and Antique Tractor lists because the 6 volt
batteries are available as Tractor Batteries.
Autozone has a Duralast under the part number 1-6Volt. If you do not use that
code you will not find it. It is made by Johnson Controls a quality battery
manufacturer who makes Sears Diehard and others. Also, Tractor Supply under
Exide Heavy-Duty Commercial Battery, 1 for $69.99. SKU# 47050699 If you cannot
find it ask for a Tractor battery at your local store. They will say ?oh, that
one? because it is not listed as a 6 volt battery, just a tractor battery, and
they are instock.
Also, when searching for a 6 volt battery try the generic description 6 volt
Group 1.
Have fun.
