I took an old Eveready #266 battery, removed the innards, kept the terminals, and installed a regular 9V battery connector so it looks stock anyway.
yes the 266 is a 9 volt battery but its 2500ah, thats alot so what i did was put 3- 9v batterys together with there clips and had another one of those big battery clips and soldered it to the 3 9v clips and it just plugs right on to the original battery clip. so to get 2500ah i would need 5 9v so i decided to use 3 and get around 1500ah. i used duracell and they are 500ah each which comes to 1500ah. energizer is 600ah. lost era,oh yes but i do remember those stamps.
