Seems all the common 6v batteries are too tall to use the battery box, but on my Lo Boy (12V) it's all nicely hidden in the box. Fortuitous in the ice blizzard we just had...
One day I will get some 'noox' for the battery connections, it is conductive where dielctric grease is not. I really dislike connection and ground problems and can say I have never had a problem with the ground strap to the battery box base. Don't own this Cub anymore, but gives you an idea..... I bet Bob Perry will tell you it's still perfect, but he didn't like the lunch/tool box combo and removed it
