Will the BC6-10 be able to charge this battery? I got 12V 7.2AH pb batteries.
Do I need to provide any other specs?
How would I go about doing it?
OH, and assuming I can charge them, can I then power the BC6-10 and charge my 3S 2200mah lipos with it?
I am running the 30amp Pyramind powers supply recommended by rcaccessory.

Yes. Charge it on PB setting, 12V, 1 Amp.

I ended up getting these 12V 20AH batteries.
So it is safe to charge these and also to power the bc6-10 from it?
I charge it by just using some aligator clicks and going positive to positive and neg to neg?

Yes. 12V DC is 12V DC.

So, I have my charger hooked up to my pyramid power supply. I have been charging lipos only, so my charging leads had a deans connector on it.
So I made a new wire that lets me connect to the deans and on the other end I have alligator clips. So it's just the two wires with alligator clips on the end and then plugged into the side of the charger.
So all I need to do is power on the charger, set it for pb 12V, and then hook the red aligator clip to the positive lead on the batter and the black lead to the negative and all should be well? I don't need any special wires for the charging leads?
Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make 100% since I spent over $300 for my charger setup and I already shorted my lipos once trying to do the two 3s at a time.

OK, got the guts to do it, and it works.
Do I still need to charge at 1A even for a 12V 20AH lead acid?
Thanks
