Way back in the 40,50's just about everything was 6v. Due to high power demands the 6v batteries got pretty big. They were cheap too due to high volume production. When 12v & 24V was introduced into general farm & automotive it was cheaper to purchase two or four large 6V batteries than one large 12V. The 12V batteries at the time were pretty small as they only had to crank 283's & slant 6's. Large 12V batteries were an overpriced industrial and aviation item.
Two six's in series is kosher as long as they both are the same size,make,age,water level and charge level.
Not to say some farmers have cobbled to gether some crude and dangerous contrapions as a tempory fix to get the job done. The fixes usually last until someone gets hurt.
When was that Uni system introduced and how long did it stay in production?
