Devildog Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hi all I am usually on the 66-83 section. Saw a R1 which has been sitting in a garage for 15 years and it followed me home! Where do we source the HDD-3EE... I see no recent threads on buying replacement battery thanks in advance Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 It's an industrial battery...look for a supplier of industrial and farm equipment. It shouldn't be too difficult to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverplate Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Batteries Plus carries them. Last one I had lasted five years. A little more than a hundred bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBCA96 Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) I converted mine to a little Honda style battery, half as long as the "tractor" battery and half the weight. Has more reserve and CCA too. An old picture, but you get the idea. Tom Edited March 13, 2016 by SBCA96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did mine I also made it to hold the overflow bottle for the radiator. The smaller battery is about 7 lbs lighter as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBCA96 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Its not actually a Honda battery .. its a battery made to fit into a Honda .. which happens to be the same width needed. There is a Ford application one that is also skinny, but its wider at the bottom and wont fit. Tom I am sorry but I cannot image doing something like that to an Avanti.
