[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 498697, member: 28452"] Yes, you've summarised it OK. Whilst what you suggest with two unmatched batteries works in theory there are so many variables that there is a VERY high risk of it all going wrong. I had assumed they were lithium ion types, hence my warning about fire, etc. The same principle (of early failure}, would equally apply with other battery types. The only batteries I would advocate using in series would be identical ones, of the same manufacturer and same age. [/QUOTE]
