No golf cart 6V would not be ok. Amp-hour rating would be far too high. Plus the charger can’t do 6v and can’t ‘bridge’ across 2 batteries either in series or in parallel.
I think the key here is that each leg is limited in what it can handle capacity-wise. So a typical Group 31 12V flooded would be about 125 amp-hour. Two 6V GC2 golf cart in series would be about 230 amp-hour.

I also asked if there was any issue with using smaller than Group 24 batteries with the charger. For example, the OP has a Group 22NF. Another poster identified they were using a U1 AGM battery for a start (I’m assuming starting something small like an Atomic 4 .... and I’ve heard of that before). Answer from ProMariner tech support was that there is no issue with connecting the ProSport 20 Plus (3-leg) charger to this battery configuration provided you do 1 leg of the charger per battery and that there is no issue connecting to any battery that is smaller than the amp-hour size of a typical Group 31. So there you have it. If you want to go golf-cart 6V or 12V batteries larger than Group 31 or if you want to mix battery technology (i.e. flooded + gel or standard AGM + gel or standard AGM + premium AGM or ....) then look to another charger. Otherwise, fill your boots.
