Red cap battery empty case?

[Tony Tee]

Got this group 27 red cap battery already hollowed out, on Craigslist. Need suggestions of which battery to buy that will fit ? And how the cables were attached to the terminals? Thanks in advance, Tony:T.

First, don’t split it in half. You got the guts out.

You’ll need to drill and tap the bottom of the old battery terminals.

Then use a battery like the other thread has and make jumpers that bolt on the inner battery and then to inside terminals. Make some sort of plate for the bottom and make sure the new battery isn’t rattling around in there.

thanks for all the great info! I hope when Ma Nature split your battery case, the acid didn't make to much of a mess?
