Battery & Box

I have a WM 20 & I'm looking for a Battery & a Battery Box. I haven't been able to come up with a # for the battery any where Thanks Cal

Re: Battery & Box

What is it that you're looking for ? A replica Lucas PUW7E container to hide a modern sealed battery ?

Is the bike in military trim or are you simply looking for something that looks to be of the correct period ?

This article outlines the choices in a clear way. Although it was written some time ago, I'm not aware that the advice has changed drastically.

Re: Battery & Box

I've now given up on my Lithium Battery, the electronics in it cause to much trouble for basic charging.
I purchased a couple of Cyclons, but found they were a bit snug in my cast battery box.
As a simple way out I'm using one of these rubber boxes for testing.

At the moment I've left the led bulbs in place.
If all goes well with charging I'll try the 55W halogen that gives a good beam.
So what do people do with the Cyclons?
Carve the case out or trim the batteries?

Re: Battery & Box

I'm using a Cyclon 6v 8ah monobloc which is the same length as the 5ah - a little deeper and a little wider and not much less capacity than two of the smaller type.

I use a halogen pilot, but as headlamp, old stock 24w / 24w envelopes 'cause they can be seen through the Difusa and small bulbs look wrong. :grimacing:

Re: Battery & Box

I've used a 5amp 6V Cyclon in all my magneto bikes for years. For a coil ignition bike I double them up to give 10amps. I try not to ride in the dark but I usually use running side lights. Ron
