Hi All, I thought someone would like to know what happens when you use the same generator on a 6v system so I'll continue with the same example as before:

Consider a generator with a "rated" output of 13.6v @ 65amps = 884 watts with a 12v voltage regulator and a 12v battery.

That same generator will have a output of 884 watts at 7.2v@122.8amps with a 6v voltage regulator and a 6v battery.

As you can see the amperage output is nearley doubled because the voltage is half of the rated input.

Now you can see why generators are rated in watts rather than amperage. If we try and control the amperage for regulation we would have some very heavy duty controls but voltage is only a "potenial" or assumed "force" therefor it's very easy to control output with small voltage controls and low "control" amperage.
