Having just picked up 3 yuasa endurance 100amp 6volt batteries from the recycling yard where i work,(the forth one was knacked) and rigged 2 up to my 12volt system by connecting in series, i was wondering wether i could connect the third one in parralel to one of the two in series without making the total voltage up to 18volt, main reason for this is that i havent got a 6volt charger, and trying to avoid changing over one of em. i googled these and found out that they are quite expensive and are of a good quality, hopefully i might get a couple of years use out of them
