Dad always used 8 volt batteries as have I since the 70s without any problems on all the old cars and trucks we've had. I run an 8 volt in my A now not to correct any problems I just like that little extra power. A six volt generator or alternator will keep it charged just fine and it can be charged up with any 6 volt charger. A good working 6 volt charging system typically puts out 8 volts.
