Hearing that reminded me of something my father told me when I was very young. The sheep station we were living on at the time had 2 Massey Ferguson 65 diesel tractors. One was fitted with a 12V battery and the other one (my dad's) was fitted with 2 6V batteries in series to make 12V. The tractor with 2 6V batteries always started in cold -5 or -6C and was used to tow the other one which just wouldn't start. I guess the 2 batteries simply gave a better starter speed?
