Fourtydlx>>>Any of you elec. wizards know how to lower volts out of a12 v battery maintainer to put on 6v battery? thanks >>>

Not a wizard but a 12v maintainer (aka trickle charger) should be able to handle a 6v battery though it might get a bit warmer than with a 12v battery. These chargers are usually amp-limited and can even handle a dead short.
