Intelligent lead acid battery charger needed - 6v, 12v (?2v)
 

I'm looking for an intelligent battery charger that can charge 6v
batteries. I don't know if the Optimate 111 can charge two 6v batteries
in series with its 12v setting - is this possible? Otherwise I need to
recharge a pair (or quad) of 6v 12AH SLA batteries with ability to
leave them connected on float with no overcharging possibility. A bonus
would be the ability to charge 2v and 4v batteries. Ideally I'd like to
use 2v lead acids - where can I get these in the UK? thanks, Andy

Whyever not? A 12V battery is only 6 cells in series, the same as
two 6V batteries in series is.

If you can connect them in series, again, there's your answer.

Dunno. Can you still get car batteries with external connections
between the cells?
