    A Nice Little Digital Volt Meter and battery charging

    Here's an inexpensive little volt meter that you can mount permanently to monitor your battery or charging system. My Honda lawn tractor only has a red light, so I bought one of these to mount in the dash. When it arrives, I'll try it on my Model A to see if it works OK with the ignition system noise.

    A battery charging tip using a 12v charger

    In a pinch you can actually connect a 12 volt bulb in series with the battery charger cable connected to a 6 volt battery. The bulb will drop the voltage and current to a safe charging level, but the best way is to buy a 6/12 volt 5 or 6 amp battery charger with a meter.

      6v battery
      by Captndan
      You’ve heard my rants about the longevity of 6v battery’s. So, how about an 8v instead?...

      6V batteries
      by Captndan
      I’ve really had it with 6 v batteries. One year and their junk. Now with the Tudor having a short and needing a battery I’m leaning towards 12V. Battery and conversion about the same $ as a 6v battery. Comments welcome.

      using a trickle charger
      by KenJT
      How long can I leave my Model A (6 volt system) plugged into a trickle charger? I'm going away for a month and certainly don't want to damage the battery or the electrical system.

      6 volt battery reading with hydrometer
      by old31
      What are your thoughts of a 6-month-old, fully charged battery that reads 1.225-1.235 and 1.225?

      I would expect higher readings from a new battery. Should I bring it back?

      New Battery Suggestions needed
      by plyfor
      We've been using Optima batteries with good success in 12 volt applications with 1 wire alternators. We tried a 6 volt Optima and haven't had much success with holding a prolonged charge. Our (commercial) battery vendor won't recommend a maintainer (such as the Battery Tender Junior, etc.) for the 6 volt application unless it's a wet cell battery. Any thoughts and / or what are folks using for batteries...

      Conductance Battery Tester for 6 Volt System
      by Leo
      I watched this video on YouTube regarding one of these units. The conductance tester used (SOLAR brand) has the ability to test the actual cranking amps of the battery. The battery being tested passed the voltmeter, load and hydrometer tests but failed to have the cranking amps which it was rated for when new. I thought great, lets get one, but alas none of the ones I found were made for use on 6...
