[QUOTE="Symon623, post: 802774, member: 16390"] Done it many times with red top Optimas. Never ran em dead, did shock mounts, frames, spring hangers, steering, and even a oil pan once, all trail repairs. Polarity might depend on your rod. I always ran the leads -/ground and +/electrode. Get a good universal rod and you'll be good, I used 6013 I believe. Maybe not the best but it always worked. Make sure you disconnect the rest of your electrical system before putting into series. I also used good jumper cables instead of actual welding leads. Served as a dual purpose if needed. Good luck [/QUOTE]
