To me, 8 volt batteries are nothing but a pain. Ideally the voltage for keeping it fully charged is right at 1.2 volts per cell, therefore 9.6 volts. A 6 volt system would be 7.2 volts setting, 12 volt 12.4. You can get by with somewhat less than that in warm conditions and continual usage. When you adjust a 6 volt generator to run at that voltage it puts more amperage through the field coils and thus through the voltage regulating points. That makes for even shorter life of those lousy regulators we get now days. I fought with 8 volt systems back in the day and it was like I said, a pain. Much better off with heavy cables and large battery on 6 volts or go all the way and put it on 12 volts.
