I found this info:

Generic flash.
Head: Fixed 35mm coverage.
Swivel & tilt: no.
Exposure modes: Auto, Varipower.
Manual settings: Hi and Lo (2 steps).
No built-in wireless modes.
Trigger voltage: 5.3 volt.
Batteries: 4xAA.
Flash duration: 1/1000 sec. @ 1/1 (full output).
Field upgradable: No.
Dimensions: 70 x 90 x 56 mm, 210 g.
Guide number (ISO 100, meter): 20.

Discontinued: Yes.

I read that about 5volts is already in danger zone.
I got this in a package so not big deal but was thinking on trying it.
Thanks!

There's no guarantee, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it. The danger zone exists because it's difficult to find specifications on what exactly the NEX-6 can handle.
