Twin Battery Set Up

When I restored my Chev there was never any doubt that I would keep the 6 volt system, despite Auto Electricians and others pushing me towards a 12 volt conversion.

I am happy to say that 38 years later I am pleased I stayed with 6 volts, with only one modification.
About 20 something years back I wanted a bit more cranking power, and after eliminating 8 volt batteries installed a twin 6 volt battery setup.

The system has served me well using batteries that are readily available for trucks and forklifts.

Happiness is a strong 6 volt cranking system, and all these years later I am still on the same starter motor, and the 28 generator keeps both batteries charged.
