Modern gel or Li-Ion batteries offer a significant advantage - they are leak-proof. Those who ever experienced spilled acid in their horseshoe oil tanks will highly appreciate this fact. On the other hand, owners of classic bikes do like the looks of their original energy store and the corresponding cover and mounts. With a Bates BattBoy Battery Box you can have the best of both worlds, because what looks like a period type HM5 6V accumulator on the outside can house a safe, modern battery within. Just hook it with two eyelet wires to the terminals on the bottom of the lid and you are all set. Perfect for 6 to 12 volts electrical system conversions, too. When using suitable Antigravity versions you even have some storage room left for a few small spare parts, safety vest, Cuban cigars, etc. Ain't this one heck of a cool solution for an old problem?

Bates BattBoy HM5 Patent

Under protection of patent 002709022-0001/0010

Yeah, there is stuff out there that almost looks like the real thing and costs way less. Not here at W&W CYCLES, though. If you feel like supporting product pirates rather than the originators and makers of high quality parts for your bike, fine with us. We're gonna stick with the real thing.

6 V Antigravity AG-802 Lithium Ion Battery

The Antigravity Battery AG-802 is a 6-volt 8-Cell Lithium Ion battery, extremely light and in an extremely small case that will easily fit all horsehoe type oiltanks or early battery boxes. It is made for those who ride classic older bikes that run the 6-Volt system and is a very reliable compact replacement for the bulky and large 6-volts of the past. It is only meant to power the ignition of your bike, not to run a starter motor. The AG-802 can hold a charge up to a year provided there are no parasitic drains and can be installed in any orientation.

The Cyclery Generators Type 32TC

The classic look of the 32E generator and the more dependable technology of the later two brush generator - you can have the best of both worlds with these The Cyclery 32TC powerplants. On the outside they sport the typical 32E features like rounded brush covers with slotted hardware, riveted-on terminal plate and a bicolor, cast iron/aluminum housing. The inside, however, hides all the bullet-proof tech features of the later 58/65A generators, manufactured for us by Cycle Electric, USA.
