Carrier Battery

[Mike Gurr]

My No2 Mk 2* is still on the standard 6v system throughout using an Optima battery which all works fine. It turns over quickly and smoothly and starts well. The advantage of staying standard is that all the instruments , lights and gauges work without any need to start changing the electrics. My advice (personal opinion based on my vehicle only) is that if the wiring and starter etc are all in good condition there is no reason not to remain all original.
Electronic ignition my be of benefit to avoid having to muck about with points but I would still remain with 6v.
