Can I use a 12 volt jump starter on a 6 volt battery?
I have used a 12-volt system/battery to start 6-volt cars for years with no damage. The trick is to jump from the positive terminal of the 12-volt battery to the positive terminal on the 6-volt. The negative jumper is connected to the negative terminal on the 12-volt battery.
What should a 6-volt car battery read?
A 6V battery is actually fully charged when it reads slightly over 6V on a multimeter. A 6 volt charger is typically designed to produce about 7 volts so that it can attain a full charge.
Can you recharge any 6 volt battery?
Charging a 6-volt battery is no different than charging other voltage batteries, but you do need to ensure that you are using the correct charger.

Why is 6V positive ground?
A 6-volt positive ground system runs the positive side of the battery to the frame of the car, causing the frame and chassis to carry the current (this was thought to reduce corrosion). When an accessory is wired back to the ground side of the battery, it completes the circuit. A 6-volt negative ground is the opposite.
How do you know if a 6 volt battery is good?
Place the sensor on the end of the black wire on the negative battery terminal. Look at the digital or meter display on the multimeter or voltmeter. It should read 6 volts if the battery is in good condition and is at least 20 percent charged. If it reads less than 5 volts, recharge the battery.
Can you charge a 6 volt battery with a 2 amp charger?

How do you boost a 6 volt car?
Re: 6 volt, positive ground boost help?
- Disconnect the lead from the starter to the starter solenoid at the starter solenoid.
- Connect the 12V vehicle Positive to the 6V vehicle Positive.
- Temporarily clamp the negative booster cable to the starter cable to rotate the engine. Unclamp it once the motor starts.
