Not difficult to figure out how to wire the (3) 6 volts to produce 12 volts.
I suppose that winds up kindof being the same storage situation as a large 12 volt in parallel with a small 12 volt.
What's the combining electrical equation that gives the resulting amp hours from wiring up three 6 volt batteries so as to give 12 volts? I know how to do it - just wondering what's the slight, if any, amp hour benefit in doing so?
I'd prefer three 12 volt (deep cycle) batteries wired up in balanced parallel over three 6 volt golf cart batteries wired up in unbalanced parallel-series.
