A lot of guys are using the new LiPo batteries. These are smaller and lighter than the originals. But I don't really like using them when they are being charged by a rudimentary charging system. They are designed to be charged by a micro-processor controlled balancing charge system.
If the have an internal short they can catch fire. Like a magnesium fire if you pour water on it, it gets worse.
Try SAFA for a battery that replicates the old 6 volt syste, Thy make a number of them. I bought one for my Parilla which was an exact replica.
