    Posted: 1 hour 8 minutes ago at 4:05pm
My friend dropped off an 8V battery out of a 1946 Ford that someone had installed. What is best way to try to charge this? I have several chargers but nothing 6V. I think the battery is no good. I will check voltage of it first and go from there. Thx.

You should be able to charge it with a 12-volt charger on the lowest setting, without hurting anything.
Several battery chargers had a single setting for "12-volt low - 6-volt fast charge".

and if you have a volt meter, connect it across the terminals and monitor as the battery is being charged with the 12v charger..
Like them all, but love the "B"s.
