You really shouldnt hook up a 6 volt to a 12 volt, unless you're certain the plates inside the battery are the same. Will it work? Yeah, it will work, but, isnt the correct way to go about it.

Now three golf cart 6 volt batteries that are identical models, etc, thus identical plates inside the batteries, identical CCA rating, etc. thats the correct way to do it.

I might catch hell for saying that up above, but.. like I said, it would work with a 12v and 6v, for supplying power that is.

OK it will work but is it sumpn that u would want to run your equipment on in other words is it guna mess your radio/amp up runnin it like this?

I think ill jus run mine off of the ole 13.8 n c what i can get out of er that way ROYJA.

20.8volts???

I didn't think you could talk on something (amp or radio) for more than just a few seconds at that high of a voltage...

I could be wrong though.

You may be wrong but im gona take ur word for it n not run mine like that.

Hey Duck, just run 13.8 volts amp will last for years. You will see more watts with more volts but forget it. If you want more watts get a Bigger amp!

RODKNOCKA i heard dat i dont really want to fry my amp so i am gonna stick with the ole 13.8 system.
