Compatibility
Not compatible with original 6 volt systems without modifications. When replacing a 6V gauge in a system converted to 12V: remove any resistor coils or voltage reducers that were fitted for the old 6V gauge.
Historical context
During the Second World War, some US military vehicles were fitted from the factory with 12 volt electrical systems, particularly for radio equipment requiring higher voltage. After the war, many 6 volt vehicles were converted to 12 volt for better starting performance and lighting capacity.
