That is normal for a 6 volt system. The draw on the system is more than the 
battery can supply and you're forever charging them. You might consider 
switching over to 12 volts. All you need to do is replace all the bulbs, have 
the generator rebuilt for 12 volt operation and put 6 volt dropping resistors 
into all the instrument gauge circuits and turning the battery around for -12 
volt operation. You can then also put newer amenities into the car such as 
AM/FM cassette radios, CB radios, etc.
As for myself, since my '47 Ford will see very little use, I'm going to leave 
it the way it is.
