In my earlier response about the U1 sized wheelchair batteries I mistakenly
said that I wired them in PARALLEL.  This is incorrect.  They are wired in
SERIES. Wiring them in Parallel would result in the same voltage (approx).
By wiring in SERIES, you get twice the line voltage (12v).

Thanks Pensioner for pointing this out to me...

(This is the problem when you try to participate on the list even after a
too-long day at the office...)
