You might want to take a hydrometer and check the SG in the 6v's while you are taking a reading with a voltmeter (should have some kind of load on the batteries).
With the 12v batteries it has always read Full when plugged in also..Now with the 6v, it reads E.

I am 1/2 tempted to just put 12v back in and see if that solves the issue. The one thing that is puzzling me is why did my 12v batts go completely dead in just 2 months after using it. I am gonna have to do some digging to make sure nothing is left on anywhere.
