The hydrometer will help you with the new 6s too. Voltages can be misleading, but the hydrometer tells the truth.

I found it necessary to also have an adjustable voltage charger that can meet the higher voltage battery specs, which an ordinary "three-stage" RV converter cannot do.
This is a good one, but you have to operate it. It is not a hands free deal but nearly is, once you do the voltage setting. Easy. See the user's manual for it linked in this link.
A 60 amper is the size to get for a pair of 6s and it can be run by a 2000w gen. (the 75 amper needs more gen even though the pair of 6s could take the 75)
