Rich, I agree that the two 6 volt batteries in series would double the voltage and not the amperage (basic electronics). However, I'm not sure that cranking amps and amperage equate to the same thing

Hi Rich, I agree that the two 6 volts may deliver the 350 amps for longer than the the single 12 volt. The capacity of the battery is directly proportional to the plate area of the cells. The sixes s

We regularly use Interstate MT-26 batteries in MGAs and early Bs to replace two 6-volts, also as a single in late Bs. This battery fits nicely and has lots of power. On the license plate thread, does

Hey John - You need a "group 26" battery. I agree. The total cold cranking amps are far superior than two 6's. You will probably be pleased if you use an Exide or Interstate battery. Good luck. Micha

I seem to be the proud owner of two dead-as-a-doornail 6volt batteries. The local MG shop tells me that I should replace them with two new 6volters (cost, $62.95 apiece) rather than a _much_ cheaper

I agree. I wouldn't trade in my 2 six volters. They give me incredible cranking power, necessary when temperatures fall below zero. Or if the car just doesn't want to start right away. The price isn'

I concur, I was convinced against my better judgement to replace my 6 volts w/ a single 12 Volt. The argument was. "Six Volts are old. 12 Volts are new and better." This was a specious argument and

Is there any reason why 2 12volt batteries in parallel wouldn't work? Someone mentioned the amps of 2 6volts, I'm sure this would beat it. Cheaper, too. But not original... how much for 2 Lucas tar-t

Yes- you get charging problems due to differences in internal resistanceparallel batteries need split charging systems. Besides- 1 12V battery does just fine for any MGB, beleive me. (It also happens
