I have used a 6 volt genny to charge a 12 volt battery and it worked simply by changing to a 12 volt VoltGE REGULATOR. It lasted a few years and was still working when I got rid of it
Heres the deal, a genny doesnt necessarily know its output voltage, its increased EITHER by turning it faster and/or pumping more current through its Field coils.
NOW before anyone has a calf let me say as an engineer IM NOT SAYING THIS IS CORRECT OR ENGINEERIGN PROPER, IM ONLYYYYYYYYYYY SAYING IT CAN WORK AND WORKED FOR ME AND CAN WORK IN THEORY
HOWEVER DO NOT expect it to charge at any very high current rate and theres an obvious problem in that if you pass more current through the field windings then they were designed to handle, they could overheat and go bad
SOOOOOOOOOOO yes it can work
It may not charge at a high enough rate
Its possible the field coils could overheat
But Ive done it and it worked
Now armed with this you can give it a try or do the engineering correct thinG and get a 12 volt genny and VR ITS YOUR CALL
