Some have a switch for 6 or 12V - if not you will "cook" a 6 volt battery using a 12 Volt charger

You can get some charge in the batteries, and you probably won't harm the battery. But a 6 V charger will shut down before the 8 V battery is fully charged.

The voltage of the charger must match the voltage of the battery.

No, you cannot charge an 8 volt battery with a 6 volt charger. The voltage of the charger must match the voltage of the battery.
How do you equalize a 6 volt marine battery with a 12 volt charger?
If you are asking the question, can you charge a 6 volt battery with a 12 volt charger, the answer is no.
Can you charge a 6 volt battery with a 12 volt battery charger on slow 2amp charge?
No.
Can you use a 6 volt battery charger to charge a 12 volt battery?
No it will not work
How long does a0.6 amp charger take to charge a 12 volt battery?
A .6 amp charger is a trickle charger. It would take days to charge a dead 12 volt battery with this charger. You need a 10 amp charger which will charge it in a couple of hours.
How charge lead acid batteries for 6 v DC?
Charge them with a 6 volt battery charger.
Can a 6 volt battery charger be used to charge a car battery?
Not on any modern car with a 12 volt system.
Can you charge a 7.2 volt battery with a 6 volt battery charger?
most likely the trickle feed will be so low that you'll never achieve a maximum charge on the battery.
Can you charge a 6 volt battery with 6 volt charger?
No. The battery will be charged at a rate which is 2* the normal rate. This will cause the battery to overheat which might cause it to explode.
Can you charge a motorcycle battery with a car battery charger?
Yes as long as it is the right voltage: a 6v battery needs a 6v charger; a 12v battery needs a 12v charger. <><><> If you can set the battery charger's output to give either a 6 or a 12 volt output, then you must always remember to set it to 6 volts if you want to use it to charge a 6 volt motorcycle car battery.
How long will it take for a 5 volt charger to charge a 7.4 volt battery?
It takes about 6 hours to charge a 7.4 volt battery when using a 5 volt charge. For the best results try charging it over night.
Can you use a 3.5 amp charger to charge a 12 volt battery?
You can charge a 12 volt battery with a 6 AMP charger. The amount of amps put out by the charger is actually the rate which the power flows out from the charger, not the amount of volts it will charge. Volts and Amps are two different things. You can't charge up a 12 volt battery all the way, using a 6 volt charger. You can charge a 12 volt battery with a 12 volt charger rated at '6 amps'. It will charge the battery faster than a 2 amp charger will, but it will take longer than using a 12 amp charger. You probably don't want to use anything higher than a 12-16 amp charger for charging a 12 volt battery. Some chargers are equipped with a 60amp boost charge that is used for starting the vehicle, without having much of a charge in the battery. You DO NOT want to attempt charging a battery with it set to a 60amp boost charge. That is for starting vehicles only and could damage your battery. Keep in mind that the lower the amps are, that you use to charge the battery (1-2amps), will result in the charge lasting longer without recharging it, than if it was charged up at a higher setting (12-16amps).
