Those bus bars must still be there, only covered with tar, or other black
insulating material. *I suggest you figure out where the correct bus bar

I've done just this many years ago to power a 6V radio. The lead bars
were there, just buried. However, if you go this route be very careful
and don't blame me if it goes wrong.
The voltage regulator option is far better.

I've done it too, the lead bars are usually submerged under acid. Can
be done, it's messy
