can I use this for 6 volt and 12 volt batteries?

This charger is for 12 volt batteries only. If you are looking for a very good charger / maintainer for 6 and 12 volt batteries, take a look at the Black & Decker BM3B. Great charger for the price!

I haven't tested it, but I don't see why not. It's just a remote on/off switch. As far as I know, a switch that does 12v will also do 6v. Quote from the Internet: "The switch doesn't care (generally) what the voltage is (within reason)." - Danny in CO

Fits 2 six volt or one 12 volt. Caution, the product does NOT fit Trojan T 105+ six volt batteries.Andy

as long as you have a total of 48 volts- 4 x 12volt or 8 x 6 volt batteries wired in series

Should work. But i suggest to find 24v DC - AC inverter and hook it directly to your batteries. Converting from 24V to 12V and then to AC voltage is not efficient at all.

Yes, connect two 12-volt batteries in series to get 24-volts. Here is an article with an image of this: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Marine-Battery-Wiring/531785.uts

Sorry, but I have no experience with your application. I use mine in my motor home with 6 V golf batteries in series.

You can try it, and it should work, the unit has a input side for 48 volts and an out put side delivering a reduced 12 volts, I would not think the unit cares or could determine that the 48 volts was from a charger or 8 or 12 volt batteries in series. I am running all me 12 volt items,lights, horn,radio.

You can try it, but you must bear in mind that if you use a 12v charger on a 6v item you may have more power than you need and you may damage what you're trying to power.

It would only work on two 6volt batteries hooked up in series to equal 12 volts.

The version I purchased works for a 12/24 volt system. I don't think that one would work for you 6 volt system. I guess it would report a low to medium when it was really full. Look for one designed for 6 volts. Additinally, some of these indicators allow a wider range of voltages.

Yes it can be used with any 12 V source of power. But however it is not bright enough for what I needed

Yes, i have used it with a 12 volt battery in my fish houe. Works great. I get around 6 hours of run time.

No. The batteries are in series typically 36 or 48 volt systems. If you were to hook this up to only one 12v battery in a golfew cart it would drain the battery unevenly and damage that battery

You really don't want to do that. I have a special 6 or12 volt charger for that purpose; it's a Smart Shot charger, by Yuasa. Accumate also makes an excellent 6/12 charger. I have both. Bear in mind that if you set up your 2 (6) volt batteries in a series configuration; you're dealing with 2 separate batteries with individual and unique needs. It is definitely not advised at all! With respect, buy yourself a separate charger and use the Optimate 6 in a way it is specifically designed for; that's 12 volts in an individual battery. It is clearly my advice to "NOT" use it on individual batteries that are hooked up to total 12 volts. That way you'll have 100% conditions to obtain the best outcome. Hope this helps.

you sure can, but only if you are hooking it to something that is 12 volt, any other voltage will burn it up.

I think that you are talking about 2 batteries (each 6 volts) - This charger I bought was to charge 6-6 volt batteries for my golf cart which is why the advertisement states 36 volts. If it is for a single battery yes, a 36 volt charger could hurt-damage or destroy a 12 volt battery
