It doesn't matter if it's for a 6 or 12 or 24 volt system since the unit only rectifies the ac output from the dynamo, meaning it turns the ac voltage into dc voltage to charge the battery. It's a more efficient rectifier than the original selenium unit so it should provide a tad more dc voltage to ...
