so it's hard to say what the voltage of your 18 volt battery is after all the connections and discharge of the batteries
High enough to fry my headlights in 1 second. The fully charged resting voltage of three 6 volters is about 19V. I was thinking I could use the DRL headlight resistor to lower the voltage as a cheap fix just for now.
The relays on the dash run pretty hot too.
