[Healeys] 6 volt batteries

[Bob Begani]

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.
