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).

Remove the battery, or disconnect it, and with any 10 amp/ 2amp, charger, pos to pos, neg. to neg. and charge it at 2 amp, till it is full. If you need to add water, add only distilled water to top the battery up. Use a charger with auto-shut off.

Can you use a 12V 7Ah charger to charge a 12V 26Ah battery?

Yes, the amp hour rating gives you an idea of the capacity of the battery and charger. The charger and battery need to have the same voltages. i.e. dont try to charge a 6v battery with a 12 v charger. The battery will be charged until it is full.

I would check the water level first if accessible. Charge out outside your home because charging batteries may emit hydrogen carbon monoxide gases. Use the lowest amp setting for a longer time for better results
