In Reply to: will a 6 volt generator put out 12 volts posted by hills on April 29, 2012 at 21:49:33:

What he told you is true IVE DONE IT AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS.

BE ADVISED: A genny dont necessarily know what its output is, it increases as you turn it faster and/or pump more current through its field windings.

What a Voltage Regualtor does (among other functions) is regualte and control the gennys field current so the output is controlled and the gennys fields and armature arent passing more current then they are rated to handle.

NOW BEFORE ANYONE HAS A CALF geeeeeeeeeee

Im NOT saying this is best,,,,, or engineering correct,,,,,,,,,and it did NOT set the world on fire for any real high charge rate,,,,,,, nor am I advising you do it,,,,,,,,, IM ONLYYYYYYYY SAYING YES IT WORKS so settle down all out there ready to jump on this lol


BE ADVISED one of the main limiting factors (in a gennys rating) is how many amps the field windings are rated to handle without overheating and ifffffffffffff you pump more amps through them (which raises gennys output) then rated for they could overheat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats why its NOT engineering perfect or the recommended way of doing things butttttttttttttttt the ratings can be on the safe conservative side so a bit of extra current may OR MAY NOT not hurt all that much

So theres the whole story now you can tell the big boys down at the pool hall or local restaurant where yall drink morning coffee

Best wishes

John T
