You had a car/truck carrying 6 X 4 volt industrial batteries? Well I've never ever come across that before in 26 years. I am factory trained and fully qualified in both light vehicle and heavy commercial vehicles, this is a first for me. (It may obviously be a USA thing). Surely 2 X 12 volt batteries connected in series was the original configuration. What vehicle was it? I'm amazed and don't see the sense in it.... sounds bloody messy. Must be difficult finding a 4V battery for it too surely?

Hey, not saying I disbelieve you....just trying to get my head around the pro's and con's of it....I mean why?
