Hi,
Firstly, I know very little on electrical side of things so please excuse my likely dumb questions. I have a couple 6 volt batteries and am thinking about hooking them in parallel to double the capacity of the batteries. The reason for considering this is I have a 6volt Ford 881 with starting issues, and while I try to figure out the problems I end up draining and having to recharge the single battery. Is using two 6v batteries in parallel a bad idea? Could hooking up two 6volt batteries in parallel cause damage to the voltage regulator? I wouldn't think so, but just checking with the knowledgeable here to be sure..
Thanks in advance.
