As a child, on family trips from Savannah to Chattanoga we would see cars (ours too) on US 41 running with the lights on too avoid the dreaded boiling battery from overcharging.

This was in the late 40's to early 50's when my dad was stationed at Hunter AFB and most of the relatives lived in Chattanooga. We sometimes rode the dog when the family car wasn't reliable enough for the trip.
