- Where can I get 6V batteries? I have been told that they are sold at tractor dealerships because some old tractors used 6V batteries. thanks in advance, Edwin "I try to think but nuttin happens" -- C

- There is a battery co."Trojan" in San Francisco that carrys them. I carry them Dry, so they can be shipped. Mine are "lucas" @ $74.96 ea.

- The 17HF battery should be readily available from battery stores. I know Sears carried them at one time (and maybe still do). During my cheaper years when I would buy used stuff including batteries,

- What is the application? I bought two 6V 17HF batteries from Battery Warehouse (many stores in Mid Atlantic- may be national) for $39.95 each. They were dry-charged and the store filled them at the t

- ==Reply== I'm one of them. But that subject's been gone over before. As to maximum cranking power from 2 six-volts, I don't think so. Wiring in series doubles the voltage, not the amperage. Wiring in

- Mark - I tend to agree with you that modern 12 volt batteries are better. But, if you're *really* serious about more cranking power, put 2 twelve volts in parallel. You still end up with 12 volts, bu

- Wayne: This is an invitation for disaster! I agree with you, that as long as both batteries are identical, everything is OK, and you have twice the charging current. But what happens when one battery

- As far as I know, it is safe to connect lead acid batteries of the same voltage in parallel, and it is common practice. They don't even have to have the exact same amp-hr rating. Every time you jump
