    Determining the Voltage of an Unknown Battery in an Old Truck

    Please help with the following problem. There is an old truck that has a 6 or 12-volt battery in it which has very little charge left in it. The hood cannot be opened, so to charge the battery, someone uses 3 car batteries (12 volts each) which are placed in series. The reasoning is that if it is either a 6 volt or 12-volt b
