Reproductions of the LUCAS 17L 6-volt batteries used in Healey 100s are now available again, after a 4-year absence. Jim Irwin, the new owner of Jim’s Battery Manufacturing Co. (previously the Antique Battery Mfg. Co.), is now taking orders for this size battery. It has a 6-volt maintenance-free battery (you never need to add water or acid) contained inside the reproduction LUCAS 17L case that had been available since the 1990s. It has the LUCAS fill caps (which are now just for show), but if you remove the end ones you’ll see cable connections to the internal battery. Holes at the ends of the top are for original mounting hold-down hardware.
