Use a series parallel configuration. Two batteries in series to get the 12 volts. Three parallel banks of two batteries to get an increase of amp hours.

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.


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.


How do you link 12 volt batteries to get 48 volts?

You must hook them up in series. You will need four 12 volt batteries to do this.


How do you hook 2 6 volt batteries together and still maintain 6 volts?

Two 6 volt batteries connected together in parallel will still maintain 6 volts but their amperage capacity will be doubled.


How to wire two 12 volt batteries to equal 12 volts?

You hook them in parallel pos to pos and neg to neg.


Can you connect 2 12 volt batteries and still have only 12 volts?

Yes, you hook them in parallel. Pos to pos, and neg to neg.


Can you hook 2-12 volt batteries and keep 12 volt?

Yes, connect them in Parallel. You will still have 12 volts but the amperage will double which is fine.


How do you hook up 2 12 volt batteries to get 24 volt?

Hook then up in Series. Positive to negative. You then have 24 volts but the same amperage of one individual battery.that will short out other battery


Do you attach a battery's positive terminal to a positive terminal and a negative terminal to a negative terminal to increase their capacity?

positive (red wire) to positive post (+) negative (black wire) to negative post (-) positive (red wire) to positive post (+) negative (black wire) to negative post (-) posiItive (red wire) to positive post (+) negative (black wire) to negative post (-) If you want the batteries to provide the same voltage but more current, hook them up this way. If you want the voltage increased but the current remain the same, hook the up with negative post to positive post and so on, until the voltage is what you want. For example using regular flashlight batteries of 1.5 volts, the first way, using only two batteries, you still have 1.5 volts but the batteries now will last twice as long. Using the second way, the batteries last only just as long as a single battery but you have 3.0 volts instead.


How to hook a 24 volt trolling motor to 2 12 volt batteries?

You would need to connect the two 12 volt batteries in series. That will give you 24 volts and the amps of one of the batteries. Voltage doubles and amps stay the same.


How do you hook up 3 batteries on 1989 freight liner tractor truck?

Hook all the positive poles together, and all the negative poles. This is "parallel" wiring, and it increases the amps rather than the volts.


How do you wire 12 V lights to 36 V batteries?

You get 3 of them and hook them up in series. Then you can connect them to the 36 V battery.
