I have 3 6v 4.5a batteries in series giving me 18v 4.5a. Can I use this to power my CS3 Plus? If yes, do I need to be concerned about where the +/- wires are connected to the command station power input?

Hi
I thinki this is OK provided:
- there is a semi-fast current limit at 3 or 5 A
- polarity matters see below as viewed from outside of the CS3 : CS2
