That is not what I said. I said most experts do not recommend wiring 4 X 12-Volt lead-based batteries in parallel when you have other options.

What you describe above solves nothing — it is still four 12-Volt batteries in parallel.

If I recall correctly, I added that lithium batteries are an exception. Four are commonly wired in parallel.
