Is it a round headlamp with a bolt on external tank? If so it's a 6v. If it's a round headlamp with an internal tank it's a 12v. If it's got a square headlamp its a 12v. Welcome by the way.

Hi Bogger
Thanks For the Reply. Its a round headlight. Bolt on Tank. So 6V. I suppose if I thought about it I could have checked the bulbs.
Can I go Gel battety or does it need to be lead acid?
Thanks Again Dale.

If you are going to fit a new battery have a read of Drag 90`s post on an upgrade, the 6 volt 90 will not run without a good battery so bigger is better.
