If you are looking for a mostly correct look, then 6TL batteries are about as close as you will get.

If you just want something that works well and don't care about originality, a lot of us use Group 27 batteries that you can find anywhere.

I would also recommend a dual bank Battery Tender to keep hooked up to these.
