A genny doesnt necessarily know its output voltage, its increased if it turns faster or more current is pumped through its Field windings (kind of what the VR controls). I have used 6 volt gennys to charge a 12 volt battery simply by using a 12 volt Voltage Regulator.
NOWWWWWWWWW before anyone has a calf IM NOTTTTTTTT SAYING THATS ENGINEEERING CORRECT OR PROPER IM ONLYYYYYYYY SAYING IT CAN WORK FOR A TIME.....One problem is if you pump more current through its fields then it was designed for they may overheat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now the correct answer is get it converted for 12 volts or get a 12 volt genny
Typical charging amps on the old tractor genny systems may be 10 to 20 amps while a modern alternator may charge at 30 to 50 amps. The genny also has to be at a voltage higher then the battery so charging current will flow out of the genny and into the battery you know.....
