- I have an MG C GT. I also prefer originality but i can still keep the 6 volts in case i want them back. What improvements can i expect from a 12 volt battery?

- Only if you keep them on a charger, and probably not even then. You will probably have to get two new ones, or get them rebuilt. Paul

- I don't think you get any noticeable "improvement" except when the time comes to replace the battery and you save money. Also, I suppose, you have only half as many battery posts to keep clean. A mod

- I'll give it try: Have one good 12V battery as descibed in the last mail form James Nazarian. When the car is not driven daily: have the battery loaded by means of what is called here a "driploader".

- As with most things, the rating systems change just to make comparisons impossible. A pair of 6v batteries isn't even close to the CCA's of a modern 12 v an a nominal 700 CCA's, and it is easy to aff
