Specifications:
Consider a 6v + Earth car.
Let the + post be referenced as "Left side of battery". Let the - post be referenced the Right side of the battery.

Obtain a common 12v car battery. Modify the top of the battery to allow for a small auxillary post to stick out of the top of the battery such that the post is connected to the third cell from the LEFT side of the battery. This will give + ground 6v at the aux post.

The OEM 6v generator charging wire that feeds t0 the battery will have to be split into 2wo wires. A left wire and a rite wire labeled at random. The left wire and the right wire will be connected to a switch that allows for ONLY one of the left or rite battery charge wires to be aactive at any given time.

Feed the rite wire to the rite side of the battery and the left wire to the left side of the battery utilizing the auxillary post as a wire connexion for the left wire.
The - post of the battery as connexion for the rite wire.


DOWNSIDE: The switch will have to be manualy toggled every 3 or 4 minutes of operation. Maybe switch can be connected to somekind of timer or to the clutch pedal for toggleing or some other function of the car such as vacuum variation. Anything that would trip the switch from left side battery cahrge to rite side battery charge every 3 to 15 minutes or so.
