Hi Henry,
    The ones from Gene were 24 volt solargizers witch spanned two
batteries connected in series, If I
remember right. The instructions that came with them made a big point of not
altering the leads between the control cube and the batteries. Although
you could do all the splicing
you wanted between the cube and the solar collector.

Bassed on that, I would be hesitant to alter that configuration without
first checking with the manufacturer
to find out what the critical parameters were. Ofcourse you may run into
the whole thing
where they want you to buy more solargizers, so they say you can't make
alterations. But I think in this
case there is probably a legitament reason for not altering the
configuration.
