It is very easy to have both 6 and 12.
12volt batteries can be had with a center tap at 6 volts.
This way you have 12 volts available for late model stuff like
A/C, fancy stereos, high powered ignition etc etc.
The only conversion needed is the charging circuit.
This works good for a stock setup but if you have a lot of 6 volt accessories
you might consider a larger capacity 12 volt battery.
