Re: (ET) 12 volt batteries for E12

[Darryl McMahon <darryl econogics com>]

One issue will be no 18-volt tap for powering lifts.

If you can manage with 12-volts for the lifts (slower but will work - 
although it feels like an eternity with the snowthrower).

Assuming the 12-volters don't weigh 130 pounds each, reduced capacity 
(run time).

If you're using the original charger, you need cell caps that allow 
gassing.

I would go with 1 battery front, 2 rear as that mimics the original 
voltage distribution and spreads the weight similarly to the original. 
If you need more weight for the steering wheels to do their job, then go 
with 2 in front.
