Battery connection

I purchased a W40z B218 lift. No batteries and the owner gave me a diagram. Purchased 4 batteries that will work but when I check the voltage between batteries it shows 12 volts. It says it's a 24v lift. The batteries are equal to US Battery 1800xC2 6 volt. I saw the lift work but the seller wanted the batteries for another unit because they were new. The drawing looks like a combo of serial and parallel connections.
Thanks

Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
