    Charging a 6V battery?

    Want to connect a 12V battery tender to a 6V (Classic Triumph) battery. Is it OK to purchase a cheap, small 6V and hook up in tandem to do the job. or do they need to be similar batteries?
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Just use one lead off your 12v charger.

    might be an upgrade to charge it with 12V, but I think you'd need to drain & pour in the battery water from a 12V battery just to be on the safe side.
