Re: Is 12-volt conversion really necessary?

Many 6-volt vehicles have been converted to 12-volts in the belief that it will fix their starting problems. Some have tried 8-volt batteries as a fix. These efforts are temporary fixes for a sub-par system. A well maintained 6-volt system with a good battery, generator and starter, and with proper size cables and good grounds is more than up to the task of providing all the electricity our Packards need. Some have fitted 6-volt alternators and these units do provide better charging, especially at low engine speeds. Others may come by and offer more on this subject.
