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.

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.


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.

Can you wire a 12 volt DC adaptor into a machine that takes 4 D batteries without ruining it?

Four D batteries in series produce nominally 6 volts (1.5 volts per cell). A 12-volt supply may damage the machine built to run on 6 volts.


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.
