Why don;t you share what you found and where? The 19L is no longer supplied by Johnson Controls to NAPA or Interstate Batteries.
I went to the 6 Volt Optima. (Laid down)

An old car nut who got his driver's license in a new 1961 VW and has owned 10 VW's (1957-1972) since then. Favorite was the 67's (2), but the 66 is the longest owned and current VW.
Not sure if this is helpful to USA folks, but I recently purchased a 6-Volt "Sonic 36" battery, its a brand that is sold by Federated Cooperatives Ltd. stores in Canada. It has the following info on it:
#701MF
Series 4000
610 CCA
750 CA
D1
Not sure of the manufacturer, but it says 'Made for Interprovincial Cooperative Ltd."

Optima 6 Volt
I heard a rumor that the Optima 6 Volt was discontinued. Then I asked on the AACA web site if it was true. Someone a replied that there were none available anywhere. Finally a Optima guy named Jim wrote and said "production Problems" had caused the shortage and they would be available again next month.
Glad to hear that!!!
