Ron, I'm NOT surprised at what you say. I have successfully over long term with no ill effects used the wrong volt genny with the right voltage regulator to charge a tractor or truck battery.........Basically the faster a genny spins and/or the more field current you pass through its field windings (increases magnetic field strength) the greater its output and controlling the field current is one function of a voltage regulator.
HOWEVER before anyone has a calf or gets their shorts in a wad IM NOTTTTTTTT SAYING THIS IS ENGINEERING CORRECT NOR AM I RECOMMENDING TO TRY IT AT HOME LOL
The reason being the field windings and/or possibly subject to design the VR's relay contacts have a certain current rating which may or may not be exceeded when you try the above. Sooooooooooo its best to have a professional shop change out the field windings if you want to operate at a different voltage........Still, Ive done it without any changes and NEVER had a problem with the Genny or VR.

Today's Featured Article - Converting from 6 Volt to 12 Volt - by Chris Pratt.

You are probably used to the 12 volt Diehard, charged with 200 amp alternator of your 3/4 ton that always is ready and always starts. It's this type of experience that brings about the many queries we get for 12-volt conversion kits. Since only a few kits are available (we sell kits for the
