And I thought old timers prefer the old school hassle maintenance batteries. [emoji16]

im not old, but nun pinatakbo ko yun classic vw bug namin, i got addicted, i was so fond of it to the point na ginamit ko sya as my daily driver for a few years kahit kala kalawang siya, falling apart, and unregistered up to the point na hinuli ako ng pulis several times, and muntik na siya ma-impound... hahaha

those days na ayaw mag-start akala ko battery pero starter bushing... matitirik ako dahil barado ang carburetor, DIY change oil every month... DIY everything. iba talaga yung feeling na gawin mo yourself, yung feeling na ang gaang ng loob mo dahil nagawa mo...

pero sawa narin ako, i went back to a more modern car for daily practical driving!

motorsiklo!
heh heh.

but seriously, we have experience with 6 volt VWs. terrible in rainy nights (madilim ilaw). hard starting if dying battery. and you have to contend with stock generator. i haven't seen a 6 volt alternator...
yup! convert to 12 volts. hindi naman kailangang palitan ang starter, e.
