[ale] [OT]: one for the EE's...

[Mike Panetta]

So its like this?

--- wire --- | + battery - |
             | + battery - |
                           |
             | - battery + |
--- wire --- | - battery + |

Where the |'s are the shorting plates/battery contacts (2 on one side and one on the other)

Or is it like this? 

--- wire --- | + battery - |
                           |
             | - battery + |
             |
             | + battery - |
                           |
--- wire --- | - battery + |

If its the first, its a 3V series parallel connected pack,
if its the second its a 6V series connected pack.


Hopefully the krappy ascii graphics came through :(

I can see how the wire in the battery compartment runs, the 2 wired ends
are on one side there is a bridge plate on the otherside and the
batteries run with 2 having positive on one side, the other 2 having pos
on the other side.  Definitly in series if I can explain what I see
properly.
