NO, a 12 volt battery cannot be charged with a 6 volt charger. To charge any battery, the charging voltage has to be, at least, slightly higher than higher than the voltage of the battery. Current flowing through the battery is what accomplishes the charging, and no current will flow at or below the voltage of the battery to be charged.

How can yau tell if your vw engine is a 6volt or a 12volt?

well with my old 6volt bug when i had the headlights on and i accelerated the headlights would get brighter. or when i had the windshield wipers going and i accelerated they would go faster. i don't know if that is true for a VW bus.also if you have it you can use a voltage meter and test it.also try your VIN number if its still on there. you can use to tell you the year, engine size and the voltage for that year and make.hope that helps.There's an even easier wayLift the back seat (Bug) or open the engine compartment (Bus) and look at the battery. If it's got three caps, it's a 6-volt battery. Six caps is a 12-volt battery.


How long will a 6volt power a car radio?

I have to assume that you're talking about a 6volt battery.The answer completely depends on the size and capacity of the battery.If it's a 6volt car battery that's fully charged when you connect the radioto it, it ought to run that radio for days. If it's a stack of four AA-cells inseries, they won't last quite that long.

Will 3 12volt batteries wired in series provide the same results as 6 6volt batteries?

Depends on the amperage of the batteries you are using. Both setups will give you 36 volts, but you will normally have a longer run time with six 6 volt batteries in series than three 12 volt batteries. That is why golf carts use 6 volt instead of 12 volt batteries.


Does a riding lawn mover use 12v or 6volt battery?

Riding Mower BatteriesI've bought several riding mowers over the years, and I've never seen one with anything but 12 volt batteries. I supposed it's possible, but the starter and electrical system would have to have been designed, manufactured, and installed for use of a 6 volt battery.


How can you tell if your engine is a 6volt or12volt?

The only things on the engine that change from 6-volt to 12-volt are the heater element in the carburetor, the generator and the coil. If the engine's in the car, the EASIEST way to tell is to look at the battery. Three caps is 6v, 6 caps is 12v.
