Levent Suberk Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Printable label for G size Cox starter battery reproduction using D size batteries. Laser orint on vinyl give best result. I formed thin cardboard around D size battery, then applied sticker. I glued a plastic under tube and glued with epoxy. A screw and nut used as connector. This type of starter battery needs a special fork shape clip to use. Simply jolt the cardboard tube to remove battery.

leccyflyer Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 The most common battery type used over here at that time would have been the Ever Ready battery like these. Ever Ready Batteries - For Longer Life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Harris - Moderator Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I'd forgotten those. We used to have some cylindrical cells at work - probably around 2" diameter and 6" long with a screw terminal and flying lead - I don't recall their official use but many of our field engineers powered radios from 8 of them wired in series when car radios were not fitted in the Morris Minor and Vauxhall Viva derived vans of the time. I might very possibly have used one for glow batteries at some point... Digging round that site reminds me of dismantling a 90v pack to create a 67.5v battery ( 3 of the 4 "piles" ) to fit inside an old multimeter bought from a stall in the local market. Are any of these high tension batteries still available, I wonder - H&S get very sniffy at anything DC above 60v these days...
