I have no problem with 12 volts, heck I run it in about 6 vehicles regularly. (and fer the right reasons)

But running known bad battries?

What's up with that?

My 6 volt 5 year warranty batteries stay charged for a little over 5 years, until I replace them.

I use them to crank and run my tractor.

Sometimes I don't crank my tractor for a month to 6 weeks at a time. She is always ready to go.

From what you are saying, 12 volt batteries should stay charged for 10 years.

I just don't see that happening, my 12 volt batteries in my trucks only last a little over 5 years.

It may all just be a difference of experiences and circumstances.

For sure it is NOT personal.

And for the record the topic wasn't "why or why not use 12 volts" it was how many folks are still running their 6 volt tractors 6 volts.

The way most folks (at least me) would have read and understood what you said, was that you were saying that a 12 volt system, ESPECIALLY the batteries were twice as good as 6 volts.

Even a 12 volt that had a dead cell, and only had 10 volts was superior to a 6 volt.

That's just not the way it is.

These 6 volt tractors are just as good, and work just as well the way they were made, IF you keep them up, they love nothing better than being taken apart, cleaned, and put back together, kept in the dry, and loved, they will work hard, and take abuse, and keep giving.

And then we come down to my own BUT....

I wouldn't give you $2 for an original 6 volt genny for mine, I am very pleased with the service from my 6 volt, posi ground, Chevy, one wire, alternator it has given me 20+ years of service for the half of the price gennys cost me in 2 years.

God Bless Us All.
