   i'll have to check that out... i've been using the standard gell filled ones   
   with the same ratings as the originals...   
      
   at one time i did string some batteries together... worked great but the   
   charging circuit took forever to recharge them... i also had to use a good   
   heavy duty wire between them... the first i used was from a heavy duty   
   extension cord... the initial test worked but melted the insulation off the   
   wires... i guess it wasn't as heavy duty as needed... upgrading the wires to   
   solid core 10AWG was a big help but a real buggar to work with...
