Gearheads' Corner: If you've looked at the photos, here's a quiz: What is weird about the batteries in this pickup? Answer: They are different sizes, and not symmetrical in quantity, either.

Gearheads' Question #2: How can you tell that the batteries are of different types, makes? Answer: From the battery terminals.

Gearheads' Question #3: Why are the battery balancers (voltage regulators) not connected to all batteries?
