Default Re: 6 volt, positive ground boost help?

Reason I ask is when my car gets hot it does not want to start right up like when its cold. I have a red top Optima that is about six years old and I think its getting tired. I just as soon keep a fully charged six volt battery in the trunk rather then be dealing with 12v jumps.
Positive to positive and negative to negative directly to the battery that is still connected.
(the same thing I would have said 4 years ago when this thread was new )
