Ok...found the markings on the middle batteries.

The batteries nearest the outside of the cart have a plate that covers
the POS & NEG.

I am going to charge each battery one by one on a 6V / 10A setting.

Which leads to the next question...how long should I charge each battery?

charge them for a few hours, make sure they have distilled water 1/4" above the lead plates in the batteries, and keep an eye on them, test them with a meter, when they all get up to 5 or 6 volts, put the cart charger on them and let it charge them fully

Sorry if I came across as ridiculing. I didn't mean it that way.

I didn't see it mentioned, but you don't have to disconnect the battery cables to charge them with a 6V charger.
Same with a 12V charger, just clip it across two 6V batteries at a time.
