I'm showing my age!!
Does anybody make a car battery that has external connectors (buss) between cells. If I remember correctly all batteries use to have this back in the '50's ±.
Here's my problem. I converted my 1948 Pontiac to 12 volts. All bulbs have been changed along with the ignition coil and the alternator. (6 volt starters LOVE 12 volts. Spin real fast!!) However the standard solution to run the gauges is to install a giant drop resistor. Seems to be an inefficient way to handle this.
On old batteries you simply drove a sheet metal screw into the lead buss on top of the battery and tapped as many cells as you needed to get a lower voltage. Can present day batteries be tapped somehow? Any ideas?
Thanks,
