lowbow New Guy L Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 49 Canada	My father accidently charged my 6 volt system with 12 volts for 5 hours or so. The truck started fine before but does not want to start now. It turns over, has a spark but won't go. What damage could 12 volts have done to my 6 volt system? It's time to have a dedicated 6 volt charger for my truck to avoid this happening again.
