To verify correct wiring you should have: Battery 1 Positive, to Battery 2 Negative, and Battery 1 Negative to Battery 2 Positive is series wiring, combining the voltage rating of both of the batteries. I suggest adding a "Battery Cut-Off Switch" in the circuit. Some slight arcing can happen if you drag the connectors together.
Try doing it outside your vehicle and use a multimeter set to DC volts and test for 22+ volts.

Can 12 volt charger charge 3 batteries wired in series?
No, if they are wired in series you have 36 volts assuming each battery is a 12 volt battery. They will have to be wired in parallel to output 12 volts. In that case you can charge them with a 12 volt charger but it will take 3 times as long as charging just one 12 volt battery.
How many volts total is a 24 volt battery and 12 volt battery in parallel?
24 volts (although you'll ruin the 12v battery this way). If you're trying to get 36 volts, you want to wire them in series.
How do you connect two battery for 24 volts?
Connect two 12 volt batteries in series and you will have 24 volts.
Can you operate a 24 volt sump pump with 12 volt battery?
No, you will need two 12 volt batteries connected in series to give the 24 volts necessary to run the pump. It will not run on 12 volts.
How do you make a 6 volt battery into a 12 volts?
That is Impossible. You can however make two 6 volt batteries into a 12 volt system by wiring the two 6 volts batteries in Series. You will then have an output voltage of 12 volts but the amperes will only be what one of the batteries have, In other words the volts will double but the amps will stay the same as if you only had 1 battery connected.
Can you get both 12 and 24 volts from 2 - 12 volt batteries?
You will need a second battery in series with the first battery to produce the 24 volts DC. To keep it charged the series connection will have to be manually changed to a parallel connection.
Can you use a 12 volt battery charger to charge two 12 volt batteries that are wired in series that has 24 volts?
No, but you can charge each one individually without separating them from the series loop.
Is it possible to turn a 12 volt battery to 6 volt battery?
You cannot make a 6 volt battery into a 12 volt batter, but you can make a 12 volt battery out of two 6 volt batteries. Connect two 6 volts batteries together in series and you have 12 volts. Please define "in series".
What is the difference between a 9 volt battery riding car and a 12 volt battery car?
One is 9 volts and the other is 12 volts. They do not interchange!
Can a marine battery start a car?
If it is a 12 volt marine battery, then yes. If it's a 6 volt marine battery, then you would need two of them wired in series to make the 12 volts needed to start the vehicle.
Will a 12 volt dc power requirement work on a AA battery?
No, not on 1 AA battery which only outputs 1.5 volts. Connect 8 AA batteries together in Series and you will have 12 volts.
Does a 1971 Volkswagen beetle have a 12 volt or a 6volt battery?
12 volts battery.
