6 volt battery

[Qtr Milr]

For those of us that refuse to convert to 12 volts, where is the best place to get a 6 volt battery that will actually fit in the battery box??

[Barnyard]

Any group 1 battery should fit. If you can find one for a Karman Ghia that will fit even better.

I like Deka or HiTech, both made by East Penn Mfg. We use them in my 6v Farmalls and our newer tractors and they seem to have excellent longevity and tend to run a little cheaper than other batteries.

I just had to purchase one for my Cub. I stopped by Tractor supply and they were out. I went to Oreillys and they had one in stock. A group 1 is what fits great. The only problem was I havent purchased one in years and the sticker shock almost put me in heart failure. It was between 95-100 dollars. If you dont go to either of those places then you should be able to go to most any auto supply stores. Good luck.

Last one I bought was $79.99. Pays to shop around.

Thanks for the replies. Since I’m not in a rush I’ll shop around to see what’s available....

I have been using group 1 or 19Ls which is a little smaller but has lower cranking amps. As Baryward said the 19L are for 6 volt VWs. both will fit in the battery box with the lid on.

If you have Rural King near you, you won't find a better price anywhere else....

I have NAPA 6V batteries in a Cub and a 130. The batteries are made For NAPA by East Penn. I’ve had good luck with them.

As much as I try to avoid Walmart, batteries are one thing I’ll go there for. Significantly the best price each time I’ve shopped around.

I haven't seen 6v Walmart batteries. But for 12v Walmart can't be beat. They last too!

Batteries and bulbs has them and there regularly $85, but you often can get 10% off or is it 15%?

But yea most big auto parts stores have them, just order online if you go that route cause I bet they only keep one or two in stock if at all and if you go when it was just bought your SOL. But as mentioned Tractor supply has them and Agrisupply has them if you have one near you.

Around here, Fleet-Farm has them at a relatively good price (~$60 as I recall). Blain's is about the same if you are near them.

Rural King in Kendallville and Fort Wayne sell them for $49.00 but they are out of stock.

Bingo!! That’s what I need to hear!! I’m in Churubusco, so Ft Wayne is in my backyard.... I’ll just keep an eye out for when they are available again!!
