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.

Ideally I'd like to use 2v lead acids - where can I get these in the UK? thanks, Andy Dunno. Can you still get car batteries with external connections between the cells? |
