Since you're going +-+-+-+-+- you're running a parallel cell on 12 volts. Not at all efficient. For any type of efficiency on a parallel cell, you need about 2 volts across the system. If you were to be able to convert your parallel cell into a series cell, you may get some efficiency. However, running 12v across a parallel cell will never be anything other than a steaming behemoth.
