My new project (68 Honda CD125) needs a 6 volt battery. Just checked Kapscomoto they only show one size in 6v. I'll be checking shortly but I'm pretty sure it's too long. Any other reasonably priced sources for batteries?

YUASA 6N6-3B or 6N6-3B-1 (I can't tell which way the terminals are located) - FortNine carries them both (Yuasa -$65, Parts Canada $26) or your local shop should be able to get for you.
 
Thanks All. I'll have to do some checking. It could be an odd ball size. 6Lx2Wx4H looks popular but is about 1/2" too long.

Great selection and prices. The vatteries are good too.

Why are these batteries so cheap <$50 compared to the $250 Yuasa ones I buy for my Kawi?

I think they eliminate the middlemen. YUASA likely has a national distributor and dealer taking a healthy margin on batteries.
 
Looks like chinesium

Yuasa is a popular OEM brand, quality stuff. The other one is off brand. Not that they aren't overpriced. I bought the china special off Amazon and it's been good for almost 2 years, which isn't long but I didn't want to spend for the Yuasa.
 
Checked batteryclerk. Prices were good but didn't find the right size.

Googled images for those both have the same +/- lead arrangment. The difference appears to be overflow placement with the "3B" having oddly on top. I've never seen it there.
 
I found an AGM battery for my Honda dirt bike. That was four years ago on Amazon.

The bike sits a lot and the battery still keeps a charge, even over the winter.
 
Re. the above: I've had good results with Battery Boys Mississauga (BBM) building Ni-Cad battery packs for radio use.
