Hi,
Having followed your plight with the batteries and request for suppliers, here is something which may help?
Some years ago, the battery on my Nippy finally expired and I ended up buying a Shield 6 volt battery. It fits well enough in the battery box under the bonnet (I guess similar to your Ruby?) and is made of hard rubber so looks "right."
Given that I do quite a bit of night driving, I went for the higher powered one to give me more running time at night. It's been in for about 5 years and has been excellent so far. Sorry I can't remember how much it was but I don't think it was silly money.
The numbers I have for it seem to be: Shield J16 501 - 17 which is 117 Amp / Hour at 20 Amps although they also do one at 80 Amp / Hours too.
Their number is 01279 652067 or contact via shieldbatteries.co.uk
I have no connection with these at all other than as a very satisfied customer so hope this helps your search?
Best wishes,
Nick
