I usually go with a 6 and 12 volt system as well. I put the biggest battery I can find into the battery box mounted on the rear armour, and use a regular 6 volt in the battery box down on the floor. When the starter button is engaged, it clicks a 6 volt solenoid which allows 12 volt current to run through to the starter motor. It usually needs recharging about once a year, and does away with the trouble starting which is predominant on hot summer days.
The generator, lights, etc all remain 6 volt.
