You should be able to use a dual battery charger to monitor your two 6V batteries.

I reached out to my contact at Redarc who confirmed this and provided me with a diagram that you would use to install the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D.

Although the battery charger that you have may be a different brand, you should be able to use the same setup for your application.
