battery

If you buy the Group 1 it should fit and perform OK. I use NAPA Group 1 batteries in my old cars and get 7-8 years out of them. I’m careful to keep the water/acid leve topped off and charge them up once a month in the winter.
 
I 'm having a hard time getting a 6 volt battery lasting any more then 2 yrs so I heard about TSC and wondered if anyone had good/bad luck with them.
Thanks for the reply, Moe
 
Do they have any group 2 or 2L batteries? Group 1 batteries are kinda small and I've never had much luck with them. Chevies, Plymouths, and old tractors, maybe, but old Fords used a larger battery.
 
Recently got a Group 1 at our local Tractor Supply for my '55 Vic. Performs fine.
Less than $100. SKU # 132347299.
 
I went to "Batteries and Bulbs" and they have 6 volt for Ford Tractors and Model A. Bought battery for tractor. Price was reasonable.
 
Actually, there are "Positive" and "Negative" batteries. It has to do with the relative size of the posts.
 
Bought one for my Ford 8n there, it was in my tractor for about five years before I sold it, never had a problem with it.
 
I have had Interstate 6v batteries since I returned to the road. One lasted 8 years, the next one only 2 years. i now am using an 8 volt Interstate, and find it is one of the best things I have done for my truck. You do not have to change any bulbs, and they are significantly brighter. It starts like a 12 volt battery. I started up the truck yesterday, after its winter hibernation, and never did anything thru the winter except to disconnect the ground cable.
Cheers, Byron.
 
Always wondered about 8 volts, but don't know anyone here in Ohio running one. Any more of you guys using 8 v batteries? mike

that is what I said by writing orientation I guess I should have said size of posts but assumed that would be common sense they have been that way for at least 60 years and longer I only know of the ones I have owned ie big post+ negative-

Just remember, you must adjust the the voltage regulator up to a charging voltage of around 9.5 volts to keep that 8 volt battery charged or it will likely die an early death due to sulfation, plus it won't have the reserve capacity it should have.
