Following this sage advice putting a resistance divider
with four 1/2 ohm (or so) resistors connected between the
12 volt anode and the cathode tied to the floating plates would lock them
so 3 volts at 6 amps would be on each of the series cells.
"When you connect capacitors in series, any variance in values causes each one to charge at a different rate and to a different voltage. The variance can be quite large for electrolytics. On top of that, once the bank is charged, each capacitor's leakage current also causes a *different* voltage across each capacitor. "
"If you charge a series bank up all the way, some caps are always undercharged and some overcharged (not good). To help them share voltage equally, you add balancing resistors. Basically they act like a big voltage divider and counteract the effects of variance in capacitance and leakage current. And if there is no leakage current, the capacitors must eventually become charged according to the voltage divider values"
