I have 4x 6V 12Ah gel cells that I'm going to wire up for a total of 12Ah
at 12V (two parallel strings of two batteries).
The question is:
Is there any benefit or (or detrimental effect) of shorting the 6V point
of both series strings together?
I think you only need two batteries in series to get 12 Ah at 12 V...I have 4x 6V 12Ah gel cells that I'm going to wire up for a total of

Arse. Yes that was supposed to be 24Ah sorry. Teach me to post after

I take it by your (other) sarcastic post you think this is similar to
electrolytics Pill?
I think that is what he is suggesting - he's asking whether there would beEasy way

I think that is what he is suggesting - he's asking whether there would be
any effect if the middle wires were connected together, ie. making it a
series string of 2 pairs of paralleled batteries.
Yep that's what I was asking.
No determental effect while batteries are delivering power; but could be a
problem when charging -- the battery with the lower internal resistance will
tend to charge better, so oyu don't really get a "proper" full charge.
Cheers, I won't do it then.
