In the directions, it shows hooking it in series for 12 or 24 volt,
depending on the batteries, or, single for a 12 volt. I'm just wondering if
I can hook several in parallel, so they remain 12 volt, and, get the same
effect. It shows even 3 for 36 volt.
I removed the ends and replaced them with clamps, so I can put it on
different batteries, and vehicles.....
They seem to work fine that way, the led light comes on, anyway.......... if
it's in the direct sun.........
I'd just like to be able to keep several batteries de-sulfated without
switching the connections, like doing about 4. If this won't work, I guess
I'll just move it from time to time.........
Thanks for the input.
Henry
