[Healeys] Conversion to single battery

[Jean Caron]

Absolutely, if you are not entering Concours, I feel that a single 12 volts is the way to go.It is far cheaper to buy to start with, will last longer too. I ran two 6 vols in my BN6, then changed to 12 volts and will never go back.
Either you find a battery that is the size of your current battery tray or you fabricate a larger one although space is rather limited back there.

Subject: [Healeys] Conversion to single battery

As of now the cable from the solenoid is on my BN2, but I have not run any other battery cables yet.  I have two repro Lucas 6 volt batteries waiting for battery acid to be added for the first time.  As this car will not be a candidate for concours judging I am considering conversion to a single 12 volt battery.  What is the easiest way to do this?  What series 12 volt battery is used for this?  Anyone have any pictures of their conversion,  wiring instructions?
