The battery that came with the car is of unknown age; however, it looks young. It is an Autocraft Farm & Truck 1-1 6 volt, 770CCR/625CCR. I know it is at least 2 years old and suspect that it was put in the car shortly before I purchased her. The battery seems to cranks well and from my novice eyes seems to maintain charge and takes a lot to run low.

When I return to the car in a few hours I plan on installing the new battery and see if that helps. If the battery swap doesn't do the trick, I may swap out the generator to my backup 5-brush powerhouse and see if that helps. If the two powerhouses both give me high output, then perhaps it is time to go back to checking the wiring.
