i finished building my jeep 14 years ago.
since then i have put way too many batteries in the thing and i am tired of it.

the jeep sits for long periods of time before i can run it and the batt goes dead and i always have to try to bring it back.... any way it's a great way to kill a batt.

almost 2 months ago i put in a red top optima and i just started it after it sat for 6 weeks.
ZING! just like i drove it 10 minutes before!... maybe even better that 1k CCA is awesome!

I may never buy an other kind of batt.

So my power wagon question, should i convert my 41 WC to 12 volt just so i can use an optima?
is there something similar that i could use with 6 volt?
