Who Needs a New 6 Volt Battery?
I just did a Google search for Fleet Farm 6 volt batteries, and they have a 640 CCA 6 volt for $54.99. This is the lowest price I've seen for some time.
This is what I have in my Studebaker, and it's over 13 years old, so I'll buy a new one. https://www.fleetfarm.com/detail/far...55|11959|12320 |

Re: Who Needs a New 6 Volt Battery?
Too bad that they are only available in select stores, it's a long way to the nearest one...

Re: Who Needs a New 6 Volt Battery?
NAPA seems to be the lowest locally of the Internet "good reputation" batteries. Currently on sale at $81
Tractor Supply up the street sells Exide for $79 - but Exide is panned all over the 'net. Surprising for a company that Edison helped found. Autozone has Duralast Group 1 6v for $94.99 but their vehicle search finder says it doesn't fit a Model A. So much for the information age. Sams Club has a Duracell for $79.36 Advanced Auto has AutoCraft 6v for $105.49 but you can print a coupon for 20 percent off. Joe K

Autozone offers a 10% veterans discount. I didn't know about this until 3 years ago when the clerk asked if I was a vet.

Only 1,112 miles from me to the nearest store in Wisconsin.
I can get some squeeky cheese while I'm there. Joe K

Re: Who Needs a New 6 Volt Battery?
For those that carry a AAA card, I'm pretty sure NAPA gives a 10% discount.

Re: Who Needs a New 6 Volt Battery?
Good to know about napa! I like thier Napa gold oil filters on my moderns. Also napa stocks the aftermarket fuel filter for the glass sediment bowl for our A's and 6v light bulbs.

Re: Who Needs a New 6 Volt Battery?
Autozone Duralast....$60 My car is not fancy enough for a Optima. When a battery cost more than my rebuilt starter I draw the line.

Re: Who Needs a New 6 Volt Battery?
Today I went to the giant Le Sueur swap meet and the second thing I bought was this identical Fleet Farm battery for $25. No tax, no core needed, and it's only 17 months old, so that was a good deal.
I already installed it in my 1950 Studebaker because yesterday another brake line rusted through on my 1999 Olds, thanks to road salt. So now my Stude will have to be my daily driver until I fix that brake line. I saw a 1928 Phaeton at the swap meet today. It was a nice older restoration and he was asking 16 K for it. The Le Sueur swap is huge, and some cars were parking a mile away. It's based on old tractors and stationary engines, but there's anything from antique wind chargers to bear rugs. I bought a mint pair of Model A king pins for $7 there, but this year I didn't find any 3X plugs. I only had 6 hours there, as I rode with a friend, so I didn't get all the rows covered. |

Re: Who Needs a New 6 Volt Battery?
Funny those battery cases look just like my interstate battery... Too bad F&F are are only up near the 10,000 lake neck of the woods...

Re: Who Needs a New 6 Volt Battery?
From a previous post:
Just bought a 6 volt battery from Batteries + Bulbs for $71.09 plus tax. This included a 10% off pick up in store discount and turn in battery core. Specs: Brand: Duracell Ultra Voltage: 6 Format: BCI Group 1 Lead Acid Type: Starting Cold Cranking Amps: 640 Battery Type: Basic Chemistry: Lead Acid Cranking Amps: 785 Not the cheapest but made by East Penn (Deka) which have a good reputation. |
