Thank you for all of the input, what a wonderful collection of brains we have on the MLU It makes sense to me that they are from AFV's due to the "FV" number and being so close to Puckapunyal the hunting ground of the Centurion, Saracen, Ferret etc. The last inspection tag on them is dated 1955 the right time frame for these vehicles in Aust service.

Cheers.

Hi Dave,
Just to clarify, these batteries are listed in the British Vocab' of Stores as for Centurion. My reference to Ferret, Saracen ... was the type of flat terminals were also used on the 12v batteries for these vehicles.

Default Four per tank

Four per Centurion, linked to provide 24 volts. In the battery compartment at the front left floor of the fighting compartment. Not an easy place to get to for replacements.

Mike
