Re: dead battery
Yes, you can charge a 6 volt battery safely on a 12 volt charger, but ONLY if you use correct resistance in series with the charger leads. Use a 12 volt light bulb in series, and it will safely charge the battery. Use a tail light bulb for low charge, or a headlight bulb for a higher charge rate.
I only use a 6/12 charger with a volt meter with numbers. I use my old Sears charger the most. It's rated 6 amps, has a volt meter with numbers, and a 6/12 switch.
