Re: 6 Volt to 12 Volt Conversion for 1939 Super 8

If you do the separate 12V battery without a standalone charging system, don't just buy an ordinary battery, get a Deep Cycle Marine battery. They're made to take a lot of draw almost to the bottom, then recharge back up over and over. They're used for trolling motors on boats and such. The battery will last a LOT longer, and save you money too.

You can do like some of the hot rodders are doing, albeit it only charges when moving, but it's better than nothing and hidden out of the way:
