The differential nuclear charge radius series up to $\mathcal{O}(r^6)$ between two isotopes and its uncertainty calculated from the Barrett radii, elastic electron scattering form factors and the Seltzer coefficients $$\begin{aligned} \Lambda &= \delta\!\langle r^2\rangle + \frac{C_2}{C_1}\delta\!\langle r^4\rangle + \frac{C_3}{C_1}\delta\!\langle r^6\rangle\\[2ex] \Delta\Lambda &= \sqrt{\Delta\delta\!\langle r^2\rangle^2 + \left(\frac{C_2}{C_1}\Delta\delta\!\langle r^4\rangle\right)^2 + \left(\frac{C_3}{C_1}\Delta\delta\!\langle r^6\rangle\right)^2} \end{aligned}$$ The moments of the differential nuclear charge radii and their uncertainties are calculated with the functions delta_r2, delta_r4 and delta_r6.
