Unless you want to run 12V accessories or are otherwise upgrading there is no reason to "upgrade" to 12V

Make sure you have a good battery, good clean connections and large enough cables and you will be fine. Remember 6V takes LARGER cables than 12V, so you cannot just run down to Napa and get any cable.
