1953 cars and trucks had 6v batteries. How did you decide you needed a 10v? The only 10v I've seen was a 12v with one bad cell. You may want to check a few of the light bulbs and see if they are 6, 10, or 12v. It used to be very common to upgrade a 6v system to 12v, so you may just have a bad 12v battery.

Check how many water caps there are. I have never seen a production 10v battery. Count the caps as each cap contributes 2 volts. 3 caps would be a 6 volt battery. 6 Caps would be 12V.
I can get real 10V battery charges (10amp) for about $524 shipped. But I guarantee this is a 6 Volt setup.

Is it not a 6 volt system? Alot of chargers have a 6 or 12 volt setting but not usually the cheap ones. I think it was 55 or 56 when chevy went from the 6 volt system to thr 12 volt one. You better read up on elec systems before you put to much money in it and decide if you want to go 12 or 6 volt system.

most chargers have a 12V and 6V switch, you'll have to go to a parts store and look for a 10V charger or check with some local owned garages to see if they can do it
