Conventional lead-acid with filler caps, in capacities from 6 to 12 Ah with the references E6N6-3B, E6N11-2D and E6N12A-2D.
If you restore or run a classic, this **6V motorcycle battery** respects the original period electrics with no adaptations: perfect for the collector's Vespa, the Lambretta, the moped or the classic scooter that comes out at weekends.

## 6V batteries for classic motorcycles: Vespa, Lambretta and pre-1980

Many bikes built up to the late 1970s run a **6-volt** system: dynamo, headlamp and horn are designed for that voltage, and fitting a 12V battery would damage the circuit. These capped lead-acid batteries reproduce the original specification: they are filled with electrolyte, the level can be checked and they deliver exactly the current a classic asks for.
The **EXIDE Moto Conventional 6V** series covers 6 to 12 Ah, enough for the ignition, lights and horn of most small and mid-capacity classics.
Code Ah
E6N6-3B 6
E6N11-2D 11
E6N12A-2D 12

## Frequently asked questions about 6V motorcycle batteries

### **How do I know whether my classic bike uses a 6V or a 12V battery?**

If it is pre-1980 and keeps the original installation, it is most likely 6V. Confirm it on the old battery label, on the bulbs (marked 6V) or in the manufacturer's documentation.

### **Which battery does a classic Vespa take?**

Period Vespas and Lambrettas with the original installation use conventional 6V batteries such as the E6N11-2D or E6N12A-2D; the exact reference depends on the model and the size of the battery tray.

### **Can I convert my classic from 6V to 12V?**

Conversion kits exist, but they require changing the regulator, bulbs and other components. As long as you keep the original 6-volt installation, you need a 6V battery like these.
