That *SHOULD* work. The batteries that can supply high current, do that. The lower current batteries 'top up' the high current batteries after the acceleration is done. This is what I have read - I have no experience with this topic.

If you double the voltage into a DC-DC inverter, is the output volatge clamped or does it rise?
Paul would be a better person to comment. The voltage doubler (or tripler or whatever) will have a maximum output dependent on component values.

I don't think the output is clamped.
