BFL 13 In your last message you say that l have a lot of options for expanding my battery bank capacity.  One of the options you mentioned is to add two 6 volt golf cart batts to my present bank of two SCS 225 12 volt Trojans.  That piqued my interest because I had read on this website that you need to have all batteries the same.  Did I understand you correctly?  Here again, am I taking too narrow of an interpretaion of this rule?  The other thing is that in the long run I think that a bank of 4x 6volts is more robust than 4x12volts so I would see that as migrating towards the goal rather than alongside.  Just got a quote from the Trojan battery dealer in Yuma.  For the 12 volt SCS 225 group 27 deep cycles they want  S200 plus $17 tax plus core charge of $15 each.  For that amount I can get four golfcarts  from Sams or Costco with cash left over.  Is this the no brainer I think it is?
