Connect them in series. With the 2 batteries sitting side by side just connect the negative terminal (-) on battery # 1 to the positive terminal (+) of battery # 2. Now connect the red hot cable to the positive terminal of battery # 1. Then connect the negative black cable to battery #2. You will have 12 volts but the amperage of only 1 battery.

Can 6 12 volt be wire to make 1 24 volt battery for solar use in home?

Yes.*Connect 3 batteries in parallel (hook all the + together, hook all the - together) (set A)*Connect another 3 batteries in parallel (hook all the + together, hook all the - together) (Set B)*Connect those two sets in series (hook the - of Set A to the + of Set B).You will have 24V between the + of set A to the - of set B.You should have an engineer, an electrical tech, or an electrician do this wiring. All those car batteries have a lot of energy, and it could get dangerous.


Can you parallel 4 sets of 6 volt batteries to get 12volts at the same time having the same batteries in series for a 48 volt laod?

Paralleling four sets of 6 volt batteries will still give you 6 volts. Two 6 volt batteries in series will give you 12 volts. Parallel these series sets will give you longer endurance at 12 volts. There is no way you will ever get 48 volts out of four 6 volt batteries.
