Recently the 8D and the 4D on my Gulfstar decided that perhaps they should move on to the next higher plane in life. Meaning that they died. So I replaced them with six 6-volt golf cart batteries (the old geezer cannot lug those 8Ds around these days as well as he used to be able to do!).
I have four of them for the house battery, and two of them for the starter battery. The four are in parallel and series. The two are only in series.
This deals only with the two. Let us call them A and B. A and B have a jumper running from the positive terminal of A to the negative terminal of B. Measuring the voltage between the other two terminals, I get 12+ volts. So the series works OK.
BUT . . . and the question here for Those Who Know . . . between the positive terminal of A and the positive terminal of B, I have six volts (roughly). Why? There should be no voltage difference between them, I would think.
Thanks for any suggestions.
