What batteries fit in 880 Implematic crossbox?
Hello All, I've just aquired an 1962 880 Implematic in good running order and had dynamo checked as it was siezed. On the advice of the auto electrician, I also fitted a new regulator. She started on a big 12 volt battery via jump leads (positive earth) but I'd like to put a pair in the crossbox to keep her as original as possible. Do they have to be 2 x 6 volt wired in series or can they be small 12 volt ones. There isn't a lot of room in each box to fit them. What battery type/code/amperage do I need please? Thanks DavidR, Wisbech, Cambs.

Originally David it would have had 2 6Volt batteries connected in series, you can still get these batteries but they would cost you well into 3 figures. You can get away with using a small single 12Volt that will fit in one of the boxes, hydraulic lever side, but you would need one with a fairly large power delivery and if the tractor is an easy starter and swings over easy that will work quite adequateley, some people make up a carrier frame for a normal tractor battery and bolt it on the starter motor side of the chassis frame, depends on how much of a purist you are.

Optima? All marketing... Nothing special unless you need to mount them in a odd orientation.jimc1390 wrote:i cant remember the make of them but has anyone else seen those batterys thats are quite small but some hellish cca to them, weird shape thing with a yellow top?
If you want to spend that much money on a battery find a "GEL Cell". Fiberglass mats between the plates, the acid is Jellylike.... They take an incredible amount of abuse.
6v tractor batteries aren't all that expensive here, $50 and up(30Pds Sterling).

Single normal type 643 644 12Volt batteries at best are around £70 plus VAT, original 6Volts are around £120 each plus VAT and the gel 'optima' or 'deep cycle' 12Volt battery is £150 plus VAT. a smaller 90Ah type battery, number 069 or 072 if it will fit the battery box, are around £40 plus VAT.
