In followup to my search for the battery in my '54 Chevy 3100 (yes, I
found it, silly me), I was wondering if anyone has had any experience in
charging said batteries. It's a 12 volt system, recently converted, but I
fear that driving short distances is not sufficient to give the battery
enough charge to run the starter the two or three times it takes to start
it up. Any suggestions on either how long it takes for an average Diehard
to charge or what to look at to get my truck running so it starts on the
first try?
Thanks.
