I took a dead one apart and found that my Dorcy Mastercell Heavy Duty 6-volt cell contains four cells wired together. Each cell is the circumference of a D-cell, but is longer--the length of the 6-volt casing.
I have read that Duracell 6-volts contain four regular Duracell D-cells wired together with a styrofoam block to fill the space in the bottom (what a scam). I have also read that Energizer NIMH rechargeable D-cells contain a AA battery and filler--again, what a scam. It is said that you can figure out what you're getting by understanding the mAh ratings on the package--but who understands that stuff?
The one I opened Energizer had 4 D size batteries plastic coated clearly labeled energizer industrial.
A six volt battery is either a dry cell, or lead-acid battery, which gives out approximately six volts DC current when fully charged.
Carbon rods.
Is a eletromagnet with a six volt lantern battery really powerful or not?
A 12 volt automotive battery has six cells.
Buying a six volt battery is better than 12 volt. If you buy the 6 volt takes up less power so it holds more.
No! You need fewer cells for six volts. Most 9 volt batteries have six 1.5 volt cells, but a six volt battery has four 1.5 volt cells. In theory you could open the battery up and install a tap at the fourth cell, but that is pretty hard to do.
It depends on how the two six volt batteries are connected. If they are in parallel then the answer is no. If they are connected in series then the answer is yes. To find out for sure check the voltage that the starter needs. If it says 12 VDC then you will know that the two six volt batteries are wires in series and can be replaced with a 12 VDC battery.
Six volt batteries are available from websites like Battery Mart, Amazon, and eBay, or from retail stores like Kmart, Walmart, Home Depot, and Lowe's.
connect the 2 six-volt batteries together one terminal each positive to negitive, this will make a 12-volt combination, then you can connect the jumper cables, one side to the 12-volt battery and one side to the two 6-volt terminals, + & -
yes you do
AnswerAccording to WikiPedia (http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_battery), the nominal cell voltage of a Lead Acid wet-cell battery is 2.1 volts, this implies there are 6 cells in a 12 volt Lead Acid wet-cell battery.
The first thing you need to know is if the truck is still the original six volt system or not. The charger is still hooked pos to pos, neg to neg regardless of whether it is pos or neg ground. Do not use a twelve volt charger on a six volt battery.
http://www.batteryinternational.com/lantern-battery.html would be a good place to start. If that doesn't help then call 1-877-28-BATTERY and they should be able to find a battery replacement that works for you.
Use a rheostat to lower the voltage to six volts
