Measure the voltage at the battery posts with a volt meter. 6-volt batteries are generally approximately 10 inches in length, 7 inches in width and 11 to 17 inches in height.

Or count the cells. A 6V car battery should consist of three sections AKA cells, while a 12V battery will consist of six sections. These are usually visible from outside, either throught the casting of the casing or sometimes even through the location of the filler caps.

When you have a battery how do you know if it a 6 volt or a 12 volt battery?

To determine if a battery is 6-volt or 12-volt, you can use a multimeter to measure its voltage directly. Set the multimeter to the DC voltage setting and connect the probes to the battery terminals; a reading of around 6 volts indicates a 6-volt battery, while a reading of around 12 volts indicates a 12-volt battery. Additionally, you can check the battery's labeling or specifications, which typically indicate the voltage.

How do you make a 6 volt battery into a 12 volts?

That is Impossible. You can however make two 6 volt batteries into a 12 volt system by wiring the two 6 volts batteries in Series. You will then have an output voltage of 12 volts but the amperes will only be what one of the batteries have, In other words the volts will double but the amps will stay the same as if you only had 1 battery connected.
