Default Re: 8 volt battery question

Exactly ! Though i'm not recommending an 8 volt battery , A model A generator will charge an 8 volt battery . The thing is , if you allready have a nurex internal voltage regulator that takes the place of the third brush installed in the generator , it will only charge a 6 volt battery . Then theres the thing about the bulbs . An 8 volt battery, though it can be made to work , is just not practical for the model A . For a more powerfull electrical system, the 12 volt battery is practical . Positive ground works good for me . If the 12 volt battery is connected positive ground , no wires will need to be changed . The original ammeter will work perfectly . If you take a notion to change back to 6 volt , all that will be necessare is remove the resistor and replace the six volt battery . Just to make this clear , I'm not tring to convince anybody to do anything .This is just for anyone that is interested in practical possibilities .
