John Deere 6130r battery

[Qman]

Sounds like a 642 type, these are good batteries BUT I find they dont last as long due to such a high capacity in a smaller casing, they dont like abuse of high current draw from crap starters or going flat from knackered alternators so if I was you I would order that 665 battery in my link.

And be aware there are direct look alike copies of the iskra mahle gear reduction starters that bepco is pushing and I think sparex sell some too. I only like to sell the genuine ones myself and avoid the copies but there are loads of adverts selling the copies and many people buy them believing they are genuine as it's not made clear in the sellers description.

How can you tell the difference between a genuine Iskra and a fake one?

Have you never seen 'When Harry met Sally'

One will have Mahle sticker on it the other will have Lucas and normally the tie rods holding motor together are silver plated were as a genuine one are painted black.

BUT there are also genuine mahle that have no black paint at all but most are all black.

In the descriptions of the copies they often quote the iskra or mahle part numbers BUT they say things like equivalent to or replacement for etc
