Jim, without any particular instructions to the contrary, I did exactly the
reverse. That is I have 6 golf carts 6 VDC each. I have wired them in
series first, to create 3 12 volt batteries and then connected all three in
parallel for the housebank. Has worked fabulously for 1.5 years now. Will
be looking to see if anyone recommends connecting paralleled series
batteries first.

Subject: T&T: "Cross-tying" Golf Cart Batteries
In the Prosine Users Guide, Xantrex recommends "cross-tying"
battery banks with series parallel connections.
When using 4 or more golf carts in a 12 volt house bank, this means
connecting half of the golf carts in one parallel group and connecting the
other half in a second group.
Then connect the two 6 volt groups in series for 12 volts.
Do you list members with 4 or more golf carts all use this technique? I can
understand the advantages but are there any possible problems or
disadvantages? Is it always a good idea (vs. connecting pairs of golf carts
in series and then connecting the pairs in parallel without "cross-tying").
Thanks
