Not quite right,Leroy The reason that your light bulbs say 6-8V is that a 6V generator has to put out 7-1/2 volts to charge a 6 Volt battery,putting light voltage near 8 volts on a running tractor. With an 8 volt battery installed,and the regulator adjusted correctly to 9-1/2 volts needed to fully charge the 8 volt battery,the life of a 6-8 volt bulb at 9-1/2 volts is cut by 50-75%.
