ANSWER Sure it will "work" you have 24 volts YOUR QUESTION: would you have the amp hours from each battery available? ANSWER NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Amp Hours is additive if in paralell NOT if in series. The amp hours you would end up with is basically (subject to other variables of course, never say never) that of the lowest of: Those two 12/s in paralell (which net is the sum of BOTH those batteries Amp Hrs) orrrrrrrr that single 12, and assuming the single 12 is surely less then two 12's in paralell (cuz their amp hrs adds) YOU END UP WITH THE AMP HRS THAT SINGLE 12 ALONE HAS YOUR QUESTION: any downsides? ANSWER: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS When you start mixin n matchin and summing up battery combinations, YOU want them IDENTICAL is size and type and brand and CCA and age and Amp Hrs and if not the weak suck off the strong and thats a very very wicked thing........ Okay got it???????????? In series VOLTAGE adds,,,,,,,,,but NOT CCA or Amp Hrs If two same voltage in paralell, voltage stays same, but CCA and Amp Hrs is additive John T [Reply]   [No Email]

Two of 500 amps each in series still can only deliver 500 amps IM SURE YOU KNEW THAT HAD YOU THOUGHT IT OVER!!! Take care Glenster John T [Reply]  [No Email]

The ONLY thing a lawyer has to sell is words so if they charge big bucks they gotta use a ton of words to justify the cost lol Actually its the combination of Engineer (lots of tech writing) PLUS an Attorney that makes me sorta just kinda possibly LONG WINDED LOL John T [Reply]  [No Email]
