Mike,
I have converted my 1954 BN1 to a single Odyssey pc925 battery. This is an =
very small battery less than 5" high. It is square in profile and fits nice=
ly into one of the battery wells. The tops of the solid brass terminals are=
threaded for bolts/washers (metric) that come with the battery. To attach =
the Lucas lead helmet caps, I bored a larger hole in the and secured the ca=
ble with the bolt/washer combination. While this battery is small in size i=
t cranks the BN1 faster than any other battery or combination of 6 volts I'=
ve ever used. My tester shows at fully charged over 600 CCA.
Recently, I began switching all my old cars to Odyssey batteries after gett=
ing one in an Elva Courier racer I purchased. It was mounted on its side wi=
th cable attached as mentioned above. These batteries have long storage tim=
es and have cranked the 100 after 6 months storage with no charging. The on=
ly caveat is you need an AGM charger.=C2=A0
Ben Cohen,
BN1, BN7 and BJ8...and other British

I have two NOS six volt Lucas reproduction batteries.=C2=A0 They would prob=

a single 12=C2=A0volt battery instead.=C2=A0 Does anyone have any pictures,=
