I'm running an 8 volt battery that was pushed on me by my local parts store. I've had no problems, but the brighter guys will tell you to fix the problems and forget the 8 volt upgrade. Do a search (upper part of this page, right side) on "8 volt battery" and you'll get lots of hits on similar or identical questions.
