[C36IA] Conversion to GC batteries-Problems

[Gary Davidson]

Good diagram Arnold. I could never keep serial and parallel straight
until a friend of mine put it into bonehead terms even I could
understand. Think of a standard flashlight that takes two D cell
batteries. The batteries are lined up end to end (serially), with
negative attached to positive in the middle. This is a serial
arrangement, and the voltage of the two batteries is combined. I always
resort to this mental image when trying to resolve serial connections
vs. parallel.

Off to Catalina tomorrow morning!

Bill,
Admittedly, my understanding of your situation is less than perfect, but
this diagram may be of some help in being certain all connections are a
expected.
