I am in need of a new 6 volt battery for my 1955 Falcone Turismo.  Is there a source in the U.S.?  Make a part number for the battery would be great.
Thanks, Stephen

Battery Mart has the Duracell  - Dura6-5F.  That's what I use in all my 6v bikes.

My Falcone runs 12 volts. I wouldn't look back.

Twelve volts is surely better but since I found a good LED headlight “bulb” I’m getting a decently bright, white, and visible headlight on 6 volts so I’m happy for now.

I use two 6v AGM wired in parallel in a dummy batt box. I'm on the road. Home next week and I'll send details.

Shops dealing with British bikes do them. I found a nice rubber one. I think with Feked.

Me too. The batteries are actually for alarm systems. I should get a bigger battery box. Went with a smaller square, when viewed from the top, one because I could get it through Vape.

Most dealers, distributors that sell vintage supplies will be able to get one for you. As I eluded to, get the bigger one. It’ll fit in the tray better.

I am using 3 of these Hawker Cyclons  in series. They just pack into an an old style case. 
They seem very robust and hold onto their charge.  
There are other suppliers.

Batteries;
Nice list you can scroll through to see the different sizes and amp hour ratings.
Many of these batteries can also be found at local hardware and home centers.

Best to have a charger rated for your battery too!

I was traveling last week when you all discussed this. I use two of
these wired in parallel and installed into a dummy box.
