[RE-wrenches] Combining two PowerFlo16 to single Midnite AIO

[Chris Lancaster]

You can, just put the first battery cable lug on upside down then the
second one right side up.  I have installed 2 Systems with a pair of
Midnite powerflo 16 batteries on a single Midnite AIO and they have worked
great.
