This 6V battery was sold as a 19L [L-12 1/2-H 7 1/2-W 7 ] $90. Turbo start has a script battery 2LF @$209 plus shipping.In my case $ 35.00 No doubt they make a quality battery.

I understand the problem. Been there with my 34 Ford Fordor and my 35 Pickup as well as my 66 VW. The Ford take a 2L, the VW takes a 19L. Real frustrating as Interstate Batteries had both for years. Now they don't. Johinson Controls make batteries for Sears, NAPA, Interstate and others. I modified the battery boxes in both the 34 & 35 Fords to take what is available. Then I needed the small 6 Volt for my favortie old VW. My NAPA guy said I can get a #5019L, so we looked up the demensions and low and behold it was the same as my a 19L by Johnson Controls, just a 50 added in front of the part number. I bought it an love it, it's also made by Johnson Controls. Now I wonder if NAPA has a 502L for the Fords. Doesn't cost anyting to ask.

Our shop is an Interstate Battery Dealer. They either stock, or can get PDQ any battery for anything. They are top quality and fair priced and include the Optima, garden tractors, all cars and trucks, etc.

SAMS club has 6 volt batteries and sometimes Walmart has them. Reilly Auto parts has 6 volt batteries. The younger clerks usually say the only six volt batteries they have are for camping lanterns. I ask to go in the back room and show them the 6 volt batteries.
IF IT CAN NOT BE FIXED WITH BLASTING WIRE, DUCT TAPE OR JB WELD - IT CAN NOT BE FIXED

The Optima offers a feature that no common lead-acid battery can: it doesn't leak acid that eats anything and everything it contacts.

Here's what I did to put an Optima 6V Red Top battery in one of my '35 sedans. No modifications to stock battery mounting were required. This complete assembly will come out in a few minutes if I ever want to switch back to an original type battery. New mounting basically consists of a piece of "U" shaped SS sheet metal and two pieces of steel angle. JM
