Default Re: Jump Starting?

Chisel The batteries aren't "bucking each other". They are in parallel. The voltage in the low battery will increase and the higher one will decrease. You will have a voltage lower than 12 volts out with this combination. Leave them connected a while and the 6 volt battery will get a fast charge and the 12 volt one will get lower in voltage. I'm not sure a battery will explode with the caps on it takes oxygen to have an explosion. G.M.
