6 volt system voltage drop limits

Post by twodotmike »

Are the "normal / acceptable" voltage drop test limits the same on a 6 volt system as they are on a 12 volt system?
Thank you.

You should see something around 6.7 volts to charge the battery. The ideal range is 7 to 7.2 volts. If less than 7, the battery will take longer to charge,
