Default Battery Charging

I have a 48v Club car in which the batteries are getting a bit knackered (tired.)
I have some chemicals remaining from my son-in-law's foray into battery reconditioning. I also have a "special" charger station, which is 6ea 12v charging units. This is supposed to be a de-sulfating charger meant to work in conjunction with the chemicals.
But of course, the charger stations are 12v, the batteries are 8v...........
Question is, can I wire the clips of 2 charger stations together in series and charge 3 8v batteries connected in series??

Inquiring minds NEED to know...........

The chargers can not be put and series and work as they also have sense circuits that will get very confused if you do this.

Depends on your charger, but usually a 12v charger will work with an 8v battery.
The desulfator chargers may be too smart for that though.

Yeah, A manufacturer of a charger that looks to be the same said it wasn't a good idea....
If I could tap into the thru-the-wall connector between cells of a battery, I could put in a post between cells 2 and 3 and I would have 12v when connected in series to another battery. That would keep everything happy...
But, I am not familiar with the construction of the Die Hard or Dura Cell batteries. (Can't remember which...)
