Hi,
Say 6TL rather than "a military truck." Any reasonable battery supplier will
know what a 6TL is. I do not know of an commercial equivalent but there is a
smaller Optima battery (the one with the cylindrical cells) that has a 6TL
adapter to make it fit the box.
When I last went to get a pair of 6TLs I was told that the army was buying them
all and that I would have to wait. DOn't know the truth but it didn't matter
much if I wasn't going to get them regardless. Ended up with a pair of
Northstar 2700 maintenance free batts and making my own B-Box adapter. Nice
batteries.
Hope this helps,
Dan
