Jason,
I have never heard of a dual voltage battery but I suppose it might exist. Years ago I had a dual voltage switch so I could start my 1953 DeSoto on 12v and maintain the rest of the system on 6v. It was just a heavy duty relay that closed when the key was in the start position. Downside was you had to use two 6v batteries -- could not use it with a single 12v unit. In the normal position it allowed the 6v generator to charge both batteries. These units are availailable from RV & Camper places and many of the 4x4 mail order places.
