Hi Anthony
Check in your local telphone book, or one of a good size city near you as there may be an Exide store near you.The 6 volt battery available is a group 1 battery.It is also available at Sam`s Club, etc. The store near me has them in stock.Also try Quality Farm and Fleet stores or ones of that type. One thing you will run into is that it is a little smaller than the original size battery (this includes the one you can get through Exide) and you will have make some shims out of wood to keep it from sliding around and possibly out of the battery box under the floor boards.
My experience is the batteries last over 3 years before beginning to loose charge.This is what makes the group 1 battery available a reasonable deal as a reproduction battery that is like the original will only last about as long and the costs is quite high to replace. Craig
