From what I could find out, the GenMini1 is designed to only be used with 12 volt lead-acid batteries. If you are using two 6 volt batteries, this cannot be used. The flashing LED lights are referring to the voltage being incorrect.
To charge your 6 volt batteries, you will need the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger - AC to DC - 6V/12V - 10 Amp # 329-GENIUS10. This will charge the batteries one at a time, but will be able to get them charged up and ready to go.
