Well the nice part about having the 12 volt one wire alternator is being able to safely jump start off another modern vehicle so you don't have to push start it. As you know, but not many others do, you can jump start a 6v system off a 12 volt modern battery. But you run the risk of burning up some electrical parts if the cables are left on to long. And if you accidently step on the brake while the cables are connected or turn on ur lights they'll immediately blow.
