Re: Jumping a 6 volt battery
I'm just curious. Are these Ratchet nuts or just a regular ⅝"-18 bolt used to hold the pulley on? (Which I am using because I have a Murray Balancer).

Re: Jumping a 6 volt battery
If you have a fun projects voltage regulator, they warn not to hook up a different voltage to your system.

Re: Jumping a 6 volt battery
If you're running any electronics and 6 volt system it would be a good idea to avoid 12 volts for boosting unless the starter is isolated.

Re: Jumping a 6 volt battery
I learned my lesson back 50 some years ago. I jumped a 48 ford pickup that was 6 volt from a 56 ford 1 1/2 ton truck that was 12 volts. started 48 and got out to unhook jumpers and I think steam from the battery caps was coming out and the spark ignited the gas. It was at night and all I remember was a loud explosion and battery parts and pieces and acid all over me and everything. Lucky my arm took the bulk of the explosion and not my eyes. I'll never do that again.

Re: Jumping a 6 volt battery
I wonder why the manufactures of portable car jump starters don’t make one for 6 V. At least I have not found one.

Re: Jumping a 6 volt battery
Was responding to FunProjects warning - basically: don't use the wrong voltage regulator. It won't hurt a 6V regulator to jump with 12V if the cables are removed before the generator spins up to nominal voltage.
