Maintaining reliable cold-start performance in vintage and classic vehicles presents a distinct challenge: modern 12V batteries are incompatible with the original 6V electrical systems found in period-correct restorations and heritage machinery. The Lucas LH501 Vintage Battery addresses this directly, offering a purpose-built 6V lead-acid solution engineered for owners who require period-appropriate power without compromise.
Manufactured under the Lucas Automotive brand, the LH501 belongs to the Lucas Vintage Battery range – Product Group 2220 – and is designed to deliver consistent cranking performance in applications where standard 12V batteries cannot be fitted. With a rated capacity of 88Ah (C20) and a cold cranking output of 290A (EN), the battery provides the sustained power required for reliable engine starting in restored and classic vehicles.
The LH501 measures 227mm × 172mm – 221mm (L × W × H, including terminal height) and weighs 16.5kg. It is supplied with a Type 1 terminal configuration, Hold-Down B00, and Polarity 0 (positive on the left). This battery cross-references against industry code 501. Compatibility with start-stop systems is not confirmed – refer to the product label for guidance.
The Lucas Vintage Battery range includes additional variants suited to differing capacity and fitment requirements: LH279, LH404, LH511, and LH521.
The LH501 is covered by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty, providing assurance of dependable service life under everyday operating conditions.
