Charging a battery? With a charger or in a 6 volt electrical system? If you want to charge an 8 volt battery, use 6 volt fast charge or 12 slow charge on most battery chargers.

Installed a Chrysler ballast resistor and that fixed the short life problem. For starting you can by-pass the resistor and switch it back in for running. Ken McWilliams Dayton, Oh
