Optima does make a 6 volt battery. I don't know what the part number is. I saw some at my local Interstate Battery store. You may want to try there if there is such a store in your area. --- On Thu 09/16, Jerry hesch < jerryhesch@xxxxxxx > wrote: From: Jerry hesch [mailto: jerryhesch@xxxxxxx] To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 16 Sep 2004 07:56:16 -0700 Subject: Re: IML: 1961 Crown Southampton I need to replace my 6-volt battery.
