James, if you need a correct badge for that Varta battery contact me. The original ones were plastic and just black and yellowJames Davies wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 11:33 am
See photos below of original battery style and cover. Notice the terminals are more inboard on the DIN-spec batteries of the period. And the battery cover has a ledge each side to press down outboard of the terminals to hold the battery down so it doesn't move about. This is a 356 battery cover made of steel, but the 356A and 356B T5 cover is a similar design made of fiberboard.

Re: Antigravity assitance needed developing 6v Lithium Battery
Have not heard much about a 6V Antigravity battery TM. in the dimensions to fit a 356 T5. Just visited their website to find a couple of very small 6V batteries.

Re: Antigravity assitance needed developing 6v Lithium Battery
David, a 6V battery was under consideration by the company and data shared on this thread was providing input about fit/finish and other details. I hope we will hear an update soon as I would like to buy one.David Aronson wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 9:51 pm Have not heard much about a 6V Antigravity battery TM. in the dimensions to fit a 356 T5.
