A friend of mine has 2 6V's in his '59 bus, I think his are in parallel,
though, so he gets same voltage & 2x amps.  He loves it to death, but I
don't want batteries in non-stock locations, so I wanna put the bat in
the left box in the engine compartment.

Voltage doubler, eh?  How exactly does it work?  I've never heard of a DC/DC
converter!

Is it possible to run 2 6V's, but use the series output for the fridge?
