Thought you had found some way of actually making them show what was going on with the 6v charging system...

A simple squarewave from a 555 timer and a voltage doubler would give you a 12v signal proportional to the 6v input...that way you should be reading double the voltage you have.
Well the way I see and how this works if the 6 volt changing system is not working to that voltage output then the reading on the SW gauge will go lower since it will read down to 10 volts. Thus showing whats going on with the charging system voltage rather simple to understand the reading on the SW voltage gauge.
How you determine a crayon and excitement can be related to the post is amusing for sure. Heck its possible not using the original amp gauge for a charge reading may also add economy to the equation.
