Battery replacement caps/covers
« on: August 02, 2007, 08:31:49 am »
On my leisure battery I managed to round off the caps that go on the cells :-[. I think there are 6 of them.

Can I buy these anywhere?

It's a 75a exide porta battery. (leisure)

Never seen the caps for sale, your best bet is a battery center or a scrap yard were you might pick up some, there all the standard thread.

i did the same

i then cut slots in them and put a 1/2 " chesil in them to undo

it works well enough
