The 6V generator in my M37 is charging a 12V battery just fine.
I just put on a standard 3-coil mechanical voltage regulator.
When the battery's low, it pegs the ammeter (at least 20 amps)
at slow idle. As soon as the battery charges up, it backs right
off like it should. I guess it all depends on what generator and/or
regulator you have.
