I got this reply from Barden in response to my inquiry. I sent the VW manual photo and gave the 6V, 84Amp/Hr rating.
Sounds like it is a UK battery reference 501, but I do not know if you use the same numbers in U.S.
6v 84ah dimensions 226mm long 175mm wide x 220mm high maximum. |
Sorry to drag up an old thread.
What was the actual dimensions of the battery in the end?
I checked with my local specialist the other day and they said that the 501 battery and these dimensions don't match up. _________________ www.melburgluft.com |

Hello,
I dig this post as I'd like to know what the part #19 called "battery well mat" looks like ?
I've never seen one. Anyone has a picture ?
Thanks |

For all the Swedish Barndoor owners.
I found this leaflet of SAAJ batteries, dated 1953.
