|
|
Hi folks: I am looking to replace the 6V battery in my 1952 Zwitter, and am wondering if anyone might have some up-to-date guidance as to which 6V battery available to purchase new nowadays would be a good replacement (preferably a model that is low-profile and won't touch the rear seat springs). Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide! Best regards, Tom |

If you want the low profile 19L you may have to order it. Oreily’s had a 6 volt but not the low profile when I was looking for one. I did wind up ordering one through bulbs and batteries. They didn’t have one in stock and had to order it through Deka if I remember. Deka makes a great battery. It took about three weeks. Sometimes they have a batch ready to go. If they don’t they will make it for you. At least it’s fresh.
I wanted the red top AGM but they had an even longer wait time and they really don’t fit since you have to lay them on the side. |

The 19L has been perfect in my bug for a long time. The price has soared in the last 2 years: was $114 @ O'Reilly's in Jan '21. But good news is I typically get at least a decade out of one |
