Can CTEK Battery Charger Charge 6 Volt Batteries Wired in Series
Question:
Could you help me figure out what exactly are the short cables I need in order to connect my two 6 volt batteries in series? Thank you.

If the batteries are wired in series so that that output voltage is 12 volts then yes the CTEK part # CTEK56353 will work.
If for some reason the output voltage was 6 volts then you'd need a 6 volt charger part # MA82WR instead. I attached a diagram that shows the difference between wiring batteries in series and in parallel too.
