How to Charge a 6V Lead Acid Battery

Six-volt lead acid batteries are used to power a variety of larger electronics, such as motorized toys and even golf carts. They are larger than most consumer batteries and therefore require special chargers in which to power them up. The good news is that these chargers are readily available from electronics retailers.
