Battery system

[Crawgator]

Hey guys. One of my first projects is getting the electrical system in better shape than what it is. I came across the following information at . I was curious if any of you had any knowledge or experience with this system. Any information would be appreciated...

"6/12 Battery:
Wherever a 6 volt battery is now used, you can convert the starting power to 12 volts. Overcomes hard starting problems. Requires no change in electrical system. Complete installation instructions included. Gives 12 volt starting power to older engineered 6 volt starting and charging circuits without rewiring. We have this battery in a group 22(9x6.75x11), group 24(10.25x6.75x11), group 27(12x6.75x11), and group 3E(19x4.5x11) case."

If it works like it says it does, I might have to get one. I took the truck out for the first time this spring yesterday and got stranded thanks to my weak 4 year old 6V battery. I really don't want to convert my entire truck over to 12V yet, but would like the extra cranking.

Just take the time to sort out your battery cables , they *MUST* be 0 Gauge or thicker and the ground cable *MUST* be attached to the engine ior tranny , NOT the frame ! .

This small things fixes 99 % of all stating troubles , all i ever see are 4 gauge cable from cheapo partshaus , attached to the frame and then a jumper cable to the engine ~ it AIN'T GONE WORK LIKE DAT ! .
