I hope you are not fooling yourself into thinking a battery is charged just because it has a voltage of 12 volts. I have attached a plot for a 17 AH 12 volt battery. Notice that it takes 20 hours to discharge at a rate of almost 1 amp. While it is delivering 0.85 amps to a load, the battery voltage is over 12 volts until the battery is only 25% charged (at 15 hours). If the load was less than 0.85 amps this voltage would be even higher when it was only 25% charged. Also notice that even when only 25% charged, the battery will deliver 0.85 amps for over 5 hours. Thus one fully charged battery can charge 3 other batteries to 25% and the charged batteries will each measure 12 volts and deliver almost an amp of power for over 5 hours. BUT, all that was done was to move charge from one battery to 3 other batteries, no new energy was created.

The guard dog barks at John Galt_USA - keep watching your back Mr. Bowling and two huge thumbs up 
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characters_in_Atlas_Shrugged

The enigmatic John Galt is the male hero of Atlas Shrugged, and typifies the Randian hero. By trade, he is an engineer, and has developed a revolutionary new motor powered by ambient static electricity that has the potential to change the world. However, in disgust at the collectivization forced upon him at his workplace at the Twentieth Century Motor Company, he goes on strike, depriving the world of his invaluable invention.
John Galt's name is enshrined in the question "Who is John Galt?" The phrase is used popularly as an expression of helplessness and despair at the sorry state of the world. The answer is expressed in a range of legends: none of which is entirely true, but all of which reflect an aspect of his achievements and labours.

"Those of you who think I'm keeping this secret because I am greedy are so wrong. Yes, I would like to get a patent in place so I can make some money."

Let's hope your patent doesn't become one of the thousands that have been officially classified by the US military.  And let's hope that secrecy in pursuit of fortune and glory doesn't earn you the same fate as that of Mr. Stanley Meyer.
