Most 6 volt batteries will fit. You can buy one at most auto parts stores including NAPA and also tractor supply or their ilk. I usually can find them for between $65 and $110
If you were to give us a location then more specific info would be forthcoming.
Here is an example.https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p/car ... lsrc=aw.ds

If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

Best not to leave the batteries in these cars, if you do then the entire area should be cleaned on a regular basis to neutralize any residual battery acid before it corrodes the sheet metal. I only put mine in when I want to drive the car, then I immediately remove it afterwards and trickle charge it on the bench.
