Guest AlaskanTech Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I need to know if this is a 6 or 12 volt car. I am not familiar with them at all. Thank you in advance for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadmaster75 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Sir,You have 12 V car .... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlaskanTech Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 So I assume you can still get those long skinny batteries in 12v from somewhere. Thanks I now know what I need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithbrother Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Normally you can spot the difference from a 6V to a 12V by the number of fill caps. The 6V should have 3, and the 12V should have 6.Dale Smith in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avgwarhawk Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 The thin batteries are available. Expensive. Search the net and you will find them :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avgwarhawk Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I have seen a battery trays used for newer 12 volt batteries you can get for today's cars. Not sure if you are looking to keep the original look. Price is certainly cheaper though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 58Special, they are available from Interstate Batteries. Almost any battery supply store should be able to get them. Also any auto parts store. Good luck Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-g-g0 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 If "AlaskanTech" has any association with the fact that he might be from Alaska would likely make them a bit harder to find. The farm supply store is a good source as they are used in newer tractors and combines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smartin Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I buy them from Rural King or Tractor Supply. 3EEE I believe is the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrMootsie Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 that's where I got mine. I'm having trouble finding a hold down though. Anyone find that source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
