battery Are tractor supply 6 volt tractor batteries ok to use on our old cars?
|
Re: 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.

Re: battery 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 |
Re: battery 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.

Re: battery Recently got a Group 1 at our local Tractor Supply for my '55 Vic. Performs fine.
Less than $100. SKU # 132347299. |
Re: battery Last Monday, the local TSC had a clearance sale on 6v positive ground batteries.

Re: battery I went to "Batteries and Bulbs" and they have 6 volt for Ford Tractors and Model A. Bought battery for tractor. Price was reasonable.

Re: battery Actually, there are "Positive" and "Negative" batteries. It has to do with the relative size of the posts.

Re: battery 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.

Yes, the positive post is the larger one. Bob |
Re: battery 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. |
Re: battery 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

Re: battery You will find a lot of negative post on them if you do a search.
|
Re: battery The 8-volt is not necessary if the electrical system is correct and in good condition.
