    Mine starts my IIa no problem, and the IIa only has a generator that barely keeps up with high beams to top it up. It can take a fair bit of starting when the timing slips a bit and it is cold but so far the battery hasn't been a problem.

    Context is important

    How old? What type of use has it seen?
