which battery are you using (part no) i'm tired of these acid batteries going bad. Carquest won't order me a battery because i complain when one comes in the date sticker is 6-7 months old, and none of the other 4 car parts stock 6 volt.

thanks
kurt

There is only 1 red top 6 volt optima battery. I have one that is close to 20 years old and still good with no battery tender
Sorry I don’t know part number

THis is a link to the last one I bought on Amazon. That was June 13, 2019. It is the third one I've had since the 1990's. The previous one is still good under my bench. I replace it when they go on sale if the current one is over 10 years old because I can. I wouldn't have anything else.

Not finding a consistent part number. 6V or RED6V.
They hold charge well if all you can find is one that’s 6 months old. Optima lists their dealers here-

Interstate Batteries sell them too. Red Top 6v
