To jump start an engine via the battery; the remote battery and the host battery, being of the same voltage, should be connected in parallel. That is positive terminal to positive terminal, negative to negative.

Can you jump a 12 volt battery with two 6 volt batteries?
Yes, if the two 6 volt batteries were connected together in series.
Can 6 volt batteries connected in series be jump started with a 12 volt battery?
Two 6 volt batteries in series, yes. In parallel, no.
What are leisure batteries used for in a caravan?
Leisure batteries are two types of 12 volt batteries. It is a vehicle battery helping to start and move a car and other vehicles. It can also be found on electricity stoves.
Can you jump 2 6volt batteries with a 12 volt battery to get 24 volts?
Yes connect all 3 batteries in series. 6+6+12=24 volts.
Will wiring 2 batteries in series hurt your boat?
Depends on the battery size. If your boat is a 12 volt system and you wire two 12 volt batteries in series you then have 24 volts. If the batteries are 6 volt batteries you will be fine. If you have a 12 volt system on your boat and want to use two batteries then wire two 12 volt batteries in parallel. You will still have 12 volts but will have double the amperage available and this will extend the running time of the batteries.
How do you wire 3 12 volt batteries to get 24 volts?
You do not need three 12 volt batteries to get 24 volts, all you need is two batteries. So I assume by using three batteries you want to increase the amperage. Wire two of the batteries in series and then wire the third battery to the second battery in parallel and you will have 24 bolts. Or you can just wire two 12 V batteries in series to get 24 V.
Can you start a two six volt battery tractor with one 12 volt battery?
It depends on how the two six volt batteries are connected. If they are in parallel then the answer is no. If they are connected in series then the answer is yes. To find out for sure check the voltage that the starter needs. If it says 12 VDC then you will know that the two six volt batteries are wires in series and can be replaced with a 12 VDC battery.
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 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 hook up 12 volts lights using 6 6 volt batteries?
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 to connect 4 - 6V batteries for -12V system?
In order to connect 4-6 volt batteries and end up with 12volts you will need to understand parallel and series connections. to connect two batteries in parallel you would connect the positive side of one battery to the positive side of the other battery; and the negative side of one battery to the negative of the other battery. doing this will not change the voltage. to connect in series you connect the positive of one battery to the negative of the other battery. doing this will increase the voltage;in this example you will end up with 12v. 6+6=12. when you stack batteries in a 2-cell flashlight that is connecting the batteries in series. The answer to the question is: connect two batteries in series; then connect the other two batteries in series. after this is done connect the two pairs of batteries in parallel. If you think of it visually you would have two batteries wide and two batteries tall.
How do you get 24 volts from 2 batteries not in series?
Two 24 volt batteries in parallel will give you 24 volts. The only other way is two 12 volt batteries in series.
