My Optima is up to 6.4V. It seems to "initially" spin the motor a little better SO my plan IS to use it in conjunction with my wet cell via jumper cables for starting.....I've pulled my battery out of the Mercury for my "jumper" power source AND IF need be I have a 12V battery I can swap my jumper cables to and go directly to the starter with that to get it spinning!!! Thoughts???
