6v battery source

I have heard that some people use 8v Golf buggy batteries in place of the 6v vw ones ?

damn, that's a bit pricy there. I was thinking it would be about 1/2 the 12 volt since it's 6v :-)

Thanks, Ant>

Yeah that Optima is pricey, but remember.............. Supply and Demand changes the Price. :-)

It is just that those 6 volts batteries are not common anymore. How many vehicles still use them?

I think a lot of people are converting their vehicles over to 12 volts to use the more common batteries and accessories like radios with CDs. ;-)

Well keep looking and you will hopefully find one close to you. BTW what did Sears and Napa want $$$wise?

I replaced mine last year, 3 out of the 5 battery shops in my area had the correct 6v type 404 on the shelf.

Phone around! I am sure you must have an American version of "Yellow Pages" you can look in.

I've gotten 6v batteries at Advance Auto Parts and AutoZone. Most places that sell parts for tractors and farm equipment have 6v batteries as well.
