Old 6 volt systems, can you jump start with 12 volt?
A friend asked me to help him get his old ‘55 F500 moved off of his farm to display at his business for the holidays. Anyway I said sure, but when I got there it was a 6 volt system. Battery was totally dead as it hadn’t been run in 2 years. We ended up just pulling it as I didn’t want to risk frying his vehicle or my trucks electrical system.
In all my years I never had to deal with a 6 volt system that I can remember. Can a 6 volt system be jumped with a 12 volt or not. Googling came up with conflicting information.
