Hi Gary,
I can't make out if you are located on your oil rig, in the States or back in the UK.If you are in the UK there are companies that sell 6volt Batteries eg Lincon Batteries located in Rayleigh in Essex. I just recently bought a 6/12 battery charger from Draper tools Part# BC5 stock# 66802.
Do not buy a battery tender that you leave coupled to the car during lay up from the States as they will not work over here in the UK.
This is due to the difference in voltage and electrical cycle (herz). I have had two at different times connected to a correct step down transformer and both have gone wrong on their first charge.
I hope this helps with your quest.
Regards
Terry
