Howard, don't recall for sure, but I was under the impression that since he was using the Saden compressor the 12-volt battery in the trunk was for the whole system. Someone who attends the Texas Packard Meet bought the car from his estate and if here can better answer your question

Another of Jim's air conditioned Packards, the 41 Clipper sedan, is said to have used a 6-volt system to operate the compressor clutch. As I recall it took 7.3 volts to engage and hold the clutch. This would be at the max of the system output. JWL
