Default Any other use for golf-cart charger?

When I READ the paragraph BEFORE your comment, it MADE perfect sense
to ME. Charging in SERIES is best done when the batteries are EQUAL in
BRAND, type and STATE of CHARGE.

I'd be WILLING to charge BATTERIES in PARALLEL since they all end up
at the SAME VOLTAGE.

No. If the batteries aren't the same size or the same level of
discharge
the strongest battery will take most of the charge. This is similar
to
memory effect in NiCad. Don't put them in series unless the batteries
are even, which is unlikely outside a device that needs three.


Actually you have it WRONG. Batteries are ALWAYS charged in series
