Default Re: 6v v 12v Wiring. Is there a load difference?

It will show you that if you drop the voltage in half, you will double the amperage

amount of power lost in the form of hot wires. Starters require a lot of power. Running
a car on 12v using 6v wiring is fine, but not the other way around.
That answers a question that wanted to know for awhile. Thanks. John
