Hi Jim, Use another cheap 6v battery#2 in series to make up 12v for the PV required voltage. Make sure the 6v battery#1 has been fully charged before storing and adding the PV maintainer. This keeps battery#2 from trying to discharge to equalize with battery#1. You'll only need a 1w/2w PV without a charge controller(CC) attached or you'll over charge the battery. Buy the 12v PV from a solar company as there cheaper, $15 on sale. Example: I use 3, 12v chargers in series to recharge my 36v golf cart with great results. Only one of the chargers controls out put amps and the "units" needs to be on a timer as the charger voltage regulator(CC) doesn't work in this configuration. T_Bone
