hmmmm......
Ok then.

How about this. I have 4 batteries in series. Can I build a non grounded alternator, and a switching mechanism to charge one battery after another?

So, I'd charge the first battery with the alternator for 2 seconds, switch to the next, etc.

I'm thinking about using a set of 4 or 5 lead acid batteries in series to run a golfcart motor (cheap).
Then use a small onboard gas engine with alternator/generator to extend the range.
