Battery

Post by wesk »

This was a write-in post to our web site email addy. So I'll do Fireman a favor and post it here for him.
M38A1 Batteries

I believe someone already asked this question, but I have been unable to find the
answer. What present day, over the counter batteries, can be purchased that will fit
in the battery box and brackets of a M38A1?

A quick search function operation for the word battery yielded this:

A quick trip to this web site and voila a complete list of battery groups showing sizes. Now all that is left to do is pick one that fits:

The military 2HN battery measures 10 1/4" long x 5 5/16" wide x 9" high.
