If you watch it, and tha fan in the charger is operating, I would let it go. You might try hooking it up to your car/truck battery to see if it mellows out on a charged battery. If so I would use it. Hooking to a 12v bat with a 6volt setting should do nothing at all, the voltage will be less than the battery. Good luck, JimN
