Alternator that looks like a generator. Is there such a thing.

Change the field coils to the 12 volt type. That is the easy way. But from what I understand, it only gives about 70% of the current available if the armature was also rewound for 12 volts. To do a thorough job, both should be done. I have not done it myself, I keep them original.
