Default BW OD relay operate on 12V?

Has anyone used this: Will the stock 6V relay operate on 12V? Thinking, half current, and 2x volts, not so sure.
Vintage Auto makes an improved version for 12V:

The operating solenoids will function but the power relay is a different story. I'd look for one to match the voltage required. New ones are still available.
