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.

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.
