I hope that we can agree to disagree.
While I do understand what you are saying about any particular system being in good condition and properly starting a vehicle I do tend to disagree and fully believe that 12 volt systems are superior by far.
Not really a fair comparison but I liken it to water pressure in a pipe. Which is generally better, 30 psi or 10 psi for moving water. Electrons I guess is what we are moving instead.
If voltage made little difference then battery operated power tools would not have become 18 volts rather than the voltage of earlier models.
Same for autos, if 6 volts were just as good as 12 a newer system would not have been adopted across the board. It did take a long time though.
I certainly agree about saving money in the long run with a change to a 12 volt system. In my 1949 Chevy truck I ran a 6 volt system until the charging system faltered and then I switched to a 12 volt system. Much more cranking from a small under floor 12 volt battery than the old 6.
