6volts 2amps for 6 volt battery, and 12 volts 6amps for a 12 volt battery. Don't charge a 6 volt battery on the 12 volt setting or it will explode!!!!!!!!! you're ok going the other way though.

Can you use a 12 amp charger to charge 6 amp 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).
How long to charge a 12 volt battery at 2 amps?
It takes between 8 and 12 hours to charge a 12 volt battery at 2 amps. The actual time will depending on how much charge is in the battery initially.
How do you charge my amps in my battery?
You cannot change the amps in an existing battery. If you want to increase the CCA you will have to purchase a new battery with a higher rating.
How do you charge a battery on a 2001 Suzuki Savage LS650?
TAKE CARE with a trickle charger as a battery of that type and size will most often be over loaded by a constant charge rate of 2AMPS which is most trickle types. A "Float Mode" charger such as the Schumacher Battery Companion has a max charge rate of 1.5Amps and a peak charge voltage of about 16vdc which prevents heat build up and the high voltage is good for the battery internals without cooking your battery. You can charge the battery from a dead state with one of these and if you forget about it the charger cycles off when the voltage peaks so you don't boil your battery. The relationship between charge amps vs volts and the health of your battery internals is huge which I have not gone into here.
Can you charge a lawn mower battery from a car battery?
NO You have to many AMPS from a car, you can jump start it butdon't charge it.
Are there different 12 volt chargers for batteries of different amps?
no you can get different amp chargers but they will charge any battery the higher the amps the faster the charge but it is better to charge a battery slowly so you shouldn't charge on very high settings any 12vdc car battery charger will charge a 12vdc car battery
How many amps charge a stock Hayley Davidson battery?
You can safely charge it with up to a 10 amp battery charger.
When charging a battery at say 2 amps is it a cumulative charge over time or will the battery only receive a 2 amp charge?
Charging at 2 amps describes how fast it is charging. The amount of charge is the current times the time, so after 5hours at 2 amps it has taken a charge of 10 amp-hours.
What is the difference between Trickle charge and boost charge of a battery?
It's in the amount of current that is used to charge the battery. If the amp-hour (Ah) capacity of the battery is known, charging at the 5-hour rate or quicker would count as a boost charge, while charging at the 20-hour rate or slower would be a trickle charge. So for a 40 Ah battery, a boost charge is more than 8 amps while a trickle charge is less than 2 amps. A normal charge would be 4 amps.
Can you charge a car 12 v battery on 16 amps?
Yes, but make sure you do not overcharge the battery.
