The current requirements will probably exceed the current rating of the
Meade
charger. To verify this check the current specifications on the charger.
If
the 6V sealded batteries are of the motorcycle type then they will require
10
to 15 amps. I use 12 V motorcycle batteries and after an evenings outing
my
charging rate is 15 amps. My charger also has a 6 V charge output and was
bought from Sams outlet for about $30.

The Meade 18-volt converter delivers about 1 amp. Also, crucially, it has
nothing in it to limit the current. If the battery tries to draw 15 amps
the converter will fry.
