Rydan,
Glad you are giving this a shot. If I understood what you posted, you connected the motor between the positives and connected the lights between the two negatives? With a setup like that you can probably get extra energy out of the setup for about 20-30 minutes at a time, then will have to drain batt three, let the batteries rest for 20-30 minutes, and start over again.
If the motor won't run when you connect the setup up, that is normal. It usually takes about 15 minutes for the motor to come on. You MIGHT be able to get it to run by spinning it by hand. OR, if you connect another small motor directly to battery three, that will pull current through the system. Once the setup is running, disconnect the motor that is connected directly to battery three.
Good luck and thanks for the post! Wish there were more people messing with this.
