A local mechanic told me a starter will only take so many amps winter or summer. A large starter on a large engine would start better with the huge 6-volt battery vs the 8 volt with only 375 CCA at zero degrees. The small gas engine I have at 113 cu in would respond better with 8-volts as the smaller starter & engine would not draw down the small 8-volt battery even at the 375 CCA rating upon initial start-up. In other words, 8 volts would probally drop down to 6.25 volts under cranking the cold engine vs a large 6 volt battery supplying about 5 volts. Plus, the coil will supply a hotter spark.
