I can understand that John says 50-50 switching is important. But unless it is some kind of mistake I do not really understand why the top part of the switching disk is in fact overlapping, and the lower part is not?
Any ideas?
Thanks and Kind regards,

Steven,
In any investigation of this type, the best way to approach it is to DECIDE in your own mind what the operating principle of the system is. THEN, see if the information supports your hypothesis. If your hypothesis is correct, the evidence should support it. Such as, John's LAST statement that a 50%-50% switching is necessary for the system to work. If this is taken as the working hypothesis, then the drawing of the mechanical commutator with one side over-lapping and one side not should be interpreted as an error.
If you think that all of the batteries can attain an EQUAL charge condition when the switching is UNEQUAL, then believe whatever you want.
Am I getting through to you?????
Trust yourself! You have the ability to think it through.
