- Russ, I have been thinking about a 6 and a12V in series for 18 V. We don't run a generator and ignition systems are designed for generator voltage around 14.5V. I read somewhere that MSD systems are

- suggest you try a "gellcell" (instrument battery) supplier. There are 2 or 3 in Houston, but I don't know their names, off the top of my head. Your series system will probably work-out to around 18.

- Bob I can see that if they were in parallel. In a 12V you already have 6 two volt cells in series so adding adding 1, 2 or 3 more cells won't cause a battery problem. Bryan /// unsubscribe/change add
