Does anyone have an experience to share about batteries for 6 volt systems?
My old one appears to be shot at 6 years. It had over 800 Cranking Amps.
The local auto parts stores only carry one choice in a six volt battery - 550
CA, take it or leave it. Exide has a full page color add in November
Hemmings for their new Orbital battery and a website, with no specifics about
product offerings, other than a claim of an equivalent 1000 CA within the
first five seconds of cranking. Considering that I want to start my '55
Plymouth (6 cylinder) during the winter months and maybe even drive it on
good days, what do I need? Is 430 Cold Cranking Amps enough? For $31.95 it
couldn't be much of a battery. Thanks in advance for your advice.
