Six volt batteries seem to have went up quite a bit in the last few years. It doesn't seem that long ago when I bought new six volt batteries exchange at Auto Zone for less than thirty dollars each. I bought a new six volt battery for my sept 29 a few months ago and it cost $117.95 and its only has a two year warrantee.
If you don't have testing equipment, you can disconnect the ground cable and watch closely for a spark when you touch the ground cable end to the battery terminal. If you see a spark that will indicate that you have a draw somewhere. If there is no spark, the battery will be the culpret. It is a very simple task to convert to a more reliable 12 volt system with the original unmodified generator. We went through three or four new batteries in a very short time in my daughters coupe before we finally got one that would hold a charge. The parts store was good about replaceing the batteries under warrantee with no charge to me. The thing is, its not a fun job removing the floor mats and floor boards to replace a bad battery.
