AS MENTIONED BEFORE + to + - to - ,case in point two men i worked with tried to jump start an old cat loader with a new model pickup at the time,hooked up jumper cables fried alt., 2 way radio, and cell phone which at that were truck mounted only,plus couple more electrical components after a few days usage,they didn't realise that those 4-6 volt batteries were hooked up for 24 volts,best i can remember is the way they hooked it up they created 36 volts back to the truck, boss wasn't happy at all for it was the truck he drove. here's another to think on, a man i worked for used old military trucks they were 24 volt, to keep cost down if it worked he would use it, seen more than one with 24 volt gen. ,starter, ign., 12 volt lights,if ign. went bad on 24 change it to 12 leave the rest 24, biggest reason for this was the cost of 24 volt parts,not complicated as it sounds to get 12 volts out of a 24 volt system ,even though 2-12 volt batteries were hooked in series for 24 he hooked to one battery + to +,- to - which gave him 12 volts even though the rest of the system ran on 24, which is the way the 2 men intended to jump start the cat loader but got confused with the 4-6 volt battery setup,saying all that to say this ,it is possible to create 18 volts when connecting a 6&12 volt together if hooked up wrong, 6 volt electrical system parts won't stand 18 volts long.
