Sooner or later, preferably sooner, you need to get each battery, if 6v, up to 8V, or if on a 12V system, up to a full, equalized charge of 16.0V. If your batteries are good, it may take 1 or 2 cycles of 16V to get the SG up about 1.275 across all 6 cells. If they are a bit stubborn, 3 or 4 attempts, supervised, are in order, to get them equalized and desulfated, and the sulfur back into ionic battery acid solution.
It's important to emphasize sooner being the operative word here, don't wait, time is money in this case. Top charged fully, then equalize charged.
Also important to emphasize multiple EQ charge attempts, with discharge cycle in between, attempts. Warm days, for me, tend to facilitate this occurring easier. Cold days require more voltage to get 'er done.
