12V batts in series?
I helped a friend with his skidsteer today.
It has two 12V batteries in series, but it is a 12V system, so it seems to me the batteries must be charging to 6V. Is that a problem? I think he would be better off with them in parallel.
Also, something odd: my Schumacher charger/ starter would not give power if I connected it across the two. ( connections are good).
It would only charge when clamped to a single battery. Maybe the charger somehow sensed the multiple batteries and didn't like it?.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
EG
I see a picture of his clutch setup.
