How do you wire four 12 volt leisure batteries together to run 12 volt for my inverter?
To maintain the 12 volts using four batteries they have to be wired in parallel connections. This means that all of the positive posts are connected together and all of the negative posts are connected together. The total sum of all of the batteries will equal 12 volts.
How many batteries can you hook up and still have 12 volts?
You can hook up an infinitive number of 12 volt batteries in a parallel circuit and still have 12 volts.
When hooking 2 12 volt batteries together which poles do you use to connect the 2 batteries to what ever you are using to kept a 12 volt system?
You need to keep the batteries in parallel. The positive poles of the battery are to be connected together. Also the negative poles need to be connected together. This will maintain the voltage at 12 volts and also give you double the endurance when discharging the batteries when connected to a load.
Why are batteries sometimes joined in series?
Batteries are connected in series to add their voltages together. For example, two car batteries in series will give twenty four volts.
How do you wire 6 batteries?
Depends on if you want a series or parallel circuit. In a series circuit if you wire six 12 volt batteries together you will end up with 72 volts. Wire the same six 12 volt batteries together in parallel and you will still have 12 volts. In a parallel circuit you just wire all positive posts together and all negative posts together. In a series circuit you would wire positive to negative to increase the voltage with each battery added.
Can you wire two 6 volt batteries together maintaining 6 volts but wire a separate plug off the batteries in such a way as to have a single isolated 12 volt plug?
Yes, series the two batteries to produce 12 volts. Tap off of the two end terminals for the 12 volts. Tap off of the series jumper for the 6 volts of one of the batteries. The two 6 volt batteries can not be paralleled in this connection as they will short out.
How do you connect to 12 volt batteries together in a series to get 24 volts?

How many rechargeable AA batteries do you need to make 9v?
I believe that AA batteries are rated at 1.5 volts each, so if you were to take 6 of them and wire them together in series that would produce a circuit that's pushing 9 volts. But recharge AA batteries are only 1.2 volts per unit so a little lower voltage will be the result. I think most devices will still work on the lower voltage. Also these batteries will never last as long as the regular dry cell.
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.
When a device uses two batteries why do they have to be placed positive to negative?
Batteries placed in series (which is what you're describing) add their voltages together. Thus two 1.5 volt batteries give 3 volts in series ... IF they point in the same direction. If they point in opposite directions, you get zero volts.
How can you wire 4-12 VDC batteries together to get 24 VDC out of them?
You would connect two 12-v batteries in series to get 24 Volts, but if you have four, you can connect two sets of batteries in parallel and then connect the two sets of parallel batteries in series, giving you 24 volts with twice the ampere-hour capacity (four batteries rather than two).
Can you operate a 12volt devise from 2 12 volt batteries hooked inseries?
NO. Absolutely not, you must hook them in parallel. Two 12 volt batteries hooked in series will give you 24 volts with the same A/H of one of the batteries. Hook them in parallel and you will still have 12 volts and double the A/H of one of the batteries.
