Re: Battery charging issues

shouldda mentioned. if a 12v battery isnt to be used to jump a 6v battery. the 6v battery won't like that much. I meant a 12v battery could be used BY ITSELF on a 6v starter for short duration starts. bear in mind that this will also affect other 6v stuff in the system. if doing this then take the rest of the truck electrical system out of the equation and only use the 12v battery for the starter part of the system. the starter solenoid or "step on the starter" switch will also have a wire that goes to the coil to supply battery voltage when cranking for a hotter start up spark.
sorry, I wasn't clear on that in the last post.
