  • Geoff Erdos' Battery Boxes

    I'm impressed with Geoff's battery boxes cast from old original 6v batteries. Geoff is a great guy to deal with and his craftsmanship is top shelf. I was originally looking for an old battery to try to make a box myself. I'm glad I didn't find one and found Geoff in Oley instead. He did all the dirty work and is doing us all a favor at a great price.

    Bob!

    His Richardson replacement used a flawless original that I found in an alley a few blocks from home.

    Side by side, they are identical, except his comes apart.

        P.s. Could somebody post a picture of it? I have never seen the setup he makes.

            Jim!

            The only difference is that his comes apart.

                I spoke with him at Rhinebeck last year and his boxes are really quite impressive. I'm just not sure that anyone has identified a tried and true replacement battery yet. If anyone has long-term success with one, please share.

                    It appears that the 6 volt battery used for this set up is discontinued. It was Eagle Picher CF-6V18. Does anyone know of a replacement battery to fit in the box?

                        Thank you, it appears to be the same battery only sold by Interstate.

                          Yes it is, Eagle Pintcher would not sell to me direct and sent me to a place in Minnesota, price for 5 was 60 each found them thru Interstate at a better price!

                            I went to the Interstate web site and search for the SLA0980 came up empty.

                              I have one on the bench for the DL and thats what is on it, when the girl I deal with looks it up I think she just enters 0980.
