Sorry to say this is not my understanding.
If you charge or measure a single 6v battery in a pack, it will read 6v and it will also charge 6v with a 6v charger. If you measure or charge 2x6v batteries in series they will read 12v and can be charged with a 12v charger without affecting anything else.
When measuring battery voltage, you will will only see the number of batteries you have your meter across.
