Quoting Removed, click Modern View to seeIt made sense when you said that increasing the field current and speed could allow you to produce 12V with a generator rated for 6V. Whether the generator could handle the extra heat depends on the generator. I believe you did it with a particular 6V genny, but not all 6V gennys can handle the load.
As for the CCA rating, that tells you something about how long it can keep cranking. The starter motor will draw the amperage needed to turn the engine. It will not draw the amperage available. I hook half horse motors to the grid all the time and they never put out 1.7 gigawatts.
E=I x R so I = E/R
As long as the starter motor is turning there is resistance, and the amps flowing will be a function of the voltage and resistance. The starter wattage depends on the starter, speed, voltage at whatever amperage the battery is putting out. The fact that the 6 Volts x 625 Amps battery can produce 3750 Watts for 30 sec does not mean that your starter can or will put out 3750 Watts.
CCA is a measure of the battery power available for 30 sec before the voltage drops below the minimum for the test. Fewer amps, more time. CCA only tells you about how long it can keep cranking. 650 amps for 30 sec is 19500 amp seconds. If the load is 200 amps, it will crank for about 100 seconds before the voltage drops below the test limit.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
