    Looks like it might be 80 on Christmas here so this winter driving thing isn’t too bad so far. :D

  3. I ran an 8 volt battery in my Cord and it turned over very well throughout the seasons. Another option is run 2 batteries and charge them on 6 volts but use a solenoid to connect the 2 in serries for 12 volt starts, this works the best.

    I was debating on getting an 8v but didn’t really know where to get one or would my 6v generator keep it charged.
