Default Re: Convert to 12 Volt ?

I use my original unmodified generator on twelve volts . the generator charges in amps .The battery controls the voltage . I chose for the system to remain positive ground because no wires would need to be changed . In other words , I installed a three OHM coil , changed all the bulbs , used a resister on any six volt accessory and installed a twelve volt battery , positive ground . The unmodified generator and starter works good with no modifications .I've been running a Fun projects can style voltage regulator . Before that I run the cut out and used the headlamps as a voltage regulator . There is another voltage regulator that installs inside the generator that is offered . I use the halogen bulbs that fit the original sockets . I think the 25 watt halogen bulbs work good with the generator . If the more powerful 55 watt bulbs are used you will need to use an alternator .
