Re: Using 12 volts only for "starting" purposes

The next time I deal with a dead 6 volt battery situation I will jump a 12 volt battery and check the numbers. Usually I just put those cases on slow charge overnight because these parts are too scarce to subject to any abuse.

The cables I use have a lot of leakage which also buffers the potential.

Remember as well that I am talking about jumping from a 12 volt battery only and not a running vehicle.
