Default Battery charger question

Battery is dead, and I went to autozone and bought a charger. The charger says for 12V battery ONLY! But I can't tell the specs of the stock battery. There are 2 stickers and none of them tell me anything about the battery, unless it's in the code on the top. Any help would be great, thanks!

All car batteries are 12v...you will be fine. Some chargers will have an option for 6v batteries - yours apparently doesnt, thats why it states 12v only...you'll be fine

some very old car is 6v, most of the car on the road are 12v but there's been alot of talking switching to 24v.

group size 51, 12v, make sure you don't jam alot of power to the battery(a sure way to degrade the capacity) in short amount of time(aka autozone 45 min charging)

so what you are saying is that it's better to use the 2amp slow charging mode than the 10 amp fast charging mode?
