Guys, my 1961 12V 1600 Beetle currently has a 619 battery which is flat. I need a new battery but different places have given me different battery types. I have been told it should take a 618 and a 630.

Which battery should I be running in the car?

630 sounds correct but wait for confirmation from the others...

Up to 1966 = 630
From 67 onwards = 646

630 is correct but are you using a radio or have you got extra driving lights? If so, then you probably should use a 634 to give you more amp/hours.

No radio or extra driving lights. I purchased a 630 and it seems to do the job. Thanks for your help once again guys.
