Re: 8 volt battery question
The best used for an 8 volt battery is to connect 4 of them in series, so you have 32 volts, then give them to me for my 32 volt Delco light plant. 8 volts for cars sucks.
Electrical power is measured in watts, and volts X amps = watts.
Amps is the amount of flow of electrons, and volts is the amount of pressure moving those electrons.
Model A's don't need to crank fast to start, they just need a good spark. I'd go back to the original ignition system. Mine and thousands more have worked fine since 1928.
The 8 volt battery has the same size case as the 6 volt battery, so it must have fewer plates per cell to fit 4 cells where 3 cells fit in the 6 volt case. Fewer plates per cell means less surface area, so it has fewer amps.
