Geoff Erdos' Battery Boxes

If you are looking for the 6 volt EaglePicher Care free battery, I bought 1 from V-Twin a couple of months ago. Part # 53-0570.

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.

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

[pan620]

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!

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

Try a Interstate # SLAO980, My contact says they have 6 in a warehouse some where? If I can help 81kustom@gmail.com

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?

What does he charge for the setup?

200 plus shipping.

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.

Never heard of it before. I learn alot by reading posts here. I too would like to see a picture of them.

I'm curious as well on price and contact information..
Len.
P.s. Could somebody post a picture of it? I have never seen the setup he makes.

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.
