Is connecting 2, 6V batteries in series as easy as just connecting battery 1 '+' to battery 2 '-'?
What about recharging them from the TV via jumper cables - just connect to the "outer" set of terminals?

The short answer(s): Yes and Yes

Be aware that 6 volters are considerably heavier than 12 volt. They are taller also, which means they will not fit in "normal" 12 volt battery box.

Click the link in my sig to see how I did it.
