New Original 1965 Navy Submarine Battey, Exide, Navy Collectable 54 inches tall
Own as incredible piece of history! New old stock Exide Submarine Battery from 1965. The internals have been removed, but the outside has been perfectly preserved, including the solid copper terminals. These batteries were manufacture by Exide from the 1940’s all the way up to 1969. Measures 14 x 14 x 54 inches tall! This battery originally weighed close to 1000 pounds, but the internals were carefully removed, and it is now down to around 100 pounds. There are some chips and scratches on it, but it is in overall excellent condition. There is some minor corrosion on the terminals, but this can easily be removed if you choose to do so. Will display nicely as-is. Because the top terminals are solid copper, this battery is now top-heavy. For display, I strongly recommend either bolting it to the floor, or filling the bottom of the case with sand to prevent it from tipping over. The lid is easily removable with 12 standard screws. These are the original screws that came with the battery and are NOT modern replacements! I have three of these batteries available, and all are stamped 1965 or 1966. They are all identical.
