Re: [VAC] Batteries
Dave and others, many early sixties and some late fifties, (I think)
had the long Battery Box, behind the LP tanks and just below the front
window. It takes a 12 volt battery group, 3ET. You can buy that
battery at almost any good battery store, Wal-Mart, Sam's ($49), and
Sears for (59) and a 3 year guarantee. It has lots of reserve. Don't
mess with those little lawnmower batteries. If you want to move the
battery inside, get a sealed Optima, or Lifetime, or other sealed
battery, so it doesn't emit hydrogen gas, and other fumes. I just
bought a 3ET for my Bambi, from Sam's............$49 and it works fine.
