[QUOTE="craig, post: 91573, member: 1959"] I have always assumed that an Exide 6volt battery was the factory supplied battery for all B & C series Vincents and dutifully painted up the reproduction post 1958 Silver Exide battery case, stuck a dry cell 12v in the repro case, put an Alton 12v on the Comet/Rapide and been a happy camper. This was until I found a brochure for a Varley Dry-Accumulator MC 7/12 and looked closely at the spares list index. I have never understood the battery pictured on M036. Is this picture/drawing, on M036, of an early Exide? a Varley? I cant find any discussion or threads on this Varley. What can you historians explain please? I do not want to be asked to leave the Vincent show field because I have chosen the wrong battery. Thank you Craig [/QUOTE]
