That isn't correct - 12 x 6v in series would be 72v. The OP was originally correct - 2 sets of 6 x 6v, the two sets in parallel.
I'll throw out a guess that you could then keep your original chargers, and use them in the same manner - just charge each 36v bank just like before.

They would all be in a series. One battery charger. Same as a golf cart.
I recently bought a 2002 Canadian electric boat Fantail Launch. It has 36v system, with two groups of three 12v batteries in series, then the two groups linked in parallel. There are two ProTournament series 3-step marine battery chargers, each dedicated to one of the 3-battery groups.
I fear the current six 12 v Interstate batteries are approaching end of life, and I'm interested in changing over to the 6v golf cart batteries with the higher amp hours capacity.
I need a 36 volt system for the current motor. So, would I be linking 12 of the 6v batteries: two series of 6 in parallel? Would I need two more charges to charge the added 6 batteries?
Thanks, and Regards.
