Reply To: 6 volt Battery Pack

This all brings me back to the question … do you really need such a back-up?

As I have said before, in the 28 years that I owned it, Alan’s car only ever failed to start on the battery once.  That was entirely my own fault for having left it parked for 3 days with the 6/12V converter switched on during the 75th meeting in Arras but …. even then, it started on the handle (courtesy of dear old Alec Bilney!).

If one really wants a back-up, just stick a spare fully charged 6V battery in the boot – and if you want to go the whole hog, it can be wired in with a split relay to keep it charged for little more than a couple of squids.
