[QUOTE="TNReb, post: 5723075, member: 676"] To answer your original question... You cannot wire the same batteries in both series and parallel. You would have to wire them in parallel in to "groups", then wire the "groups" in to series. You've got Battery #1 and Battery #2. They're identical. You want to add battery #3. You would have to wire this in parallel to #1 (or #2). This gives you a "group" that is still 12v. However, the capacity is now higher than battery #2. Herein lies your problem. The capacity of all batteries (or groups) in a parallel configuration should be identical. You'd need to add a 4th battery to keep your "groups" identical. I'm not saying it won't work with just 3 batteries, but it will likely cause issues if if they aren't immediately recognizable. [/QUOTE]
