I started this thread on the premises of better power for accessories I don't want to switch to 12 v.. Never said anything about not starting,, yet this thread keeps going back to "Maintain properly yada yada"

Talked to Fifth Avenue and his suggestion was to buy one of his 6 volt alternators.. Of course changing polarity would mean I would have to rewire all the switches..And buy the time I would buy everything needed to do the alternator I could buy three 8 volt batteries, and a whole bucket of bulbs

Although everyone says bulbs etc will burn out faster, anyone who has actually done it says it was never a problem.Some vendors even rate their bulbs 6 or 8 Volt

Oh well life is good if that is all I have to worry about.
