I'll try to find the brand and model for the single 12VDC battery I use in =
my BN1 and post a pic later. In any case I would suggest you find a 12VDC =
gel battery without top terminals to lower its height and instead find a mo=
del that has female terminals on one side, enabling you to more easily pass=
it through the hatch in the squab. I use the space that had been consumed=
by the (former) left side 6VDC battery to mount a large Tupperware-style c=
ontainer in which I stow a scissors-jack and handle and other gear related =
to tire changing as it will be made accessible once the spare tire is remov=
ed for changing.

Absolutely, if you are not entering Concours, I feel that a single 12 volts=
is the way to go.It is far cheaper to buy to start with, will last longer =
too. I ran two 6 vols in my BN6, then changed to 12 volts and will never go=
back.
Either you find a battery that is the size of your current battery tray or =
you fabricate a larger one although space is rather limited back there.

Subject: [Healeys] Conversion to single battery
As of now the cable from the solenoid is on my BN2, but I have not run any =
other battery cables yet. I have two repro Lucas 6 volt batteries waiting =
for battery acid to be added for the first time. As this car will not be a=

volt battery. What is the easiest way to do this? What series 12 volt bat=
