Would an 8-volt battery help my problem with slow cranking, or should I get a heavy duty 6-volt battery? Would the 8-volt battery cause me any problems?

Hey Dick: Ed is correct about the Cable size. Battery Cable is like water pipe. The older it gets, the less it's ability to carry current. A 650CCA 6V Battery will do a good job on an SC. Thats 650CCA @ 0 degrees F. Cable size must be at least 1 Guage or larger. I use 2/0, not to be confused with 2 Guage. This is the same for Pos & Neg. Ends must be clean & tight.

Those 6V systems have some pretty good current going through them so you need to make sure you have some good size battery cables going to it (i.e. thicker than a typical 12V system). You can also put two 6V batteries in parallel (+ to + and - to -) to increase the cranking power so long as both batteries are charged up.
