To use two 12 volt batteries in a 24 volt system they must be wired in series. For this explanation I will refer to them as battery #1 and battery #2.
This answer describes the wire connections for a vehicle with a negative ground electrical system.
The cable from battery#1 Negative terminal connects to ground (Frame or engine block).
The cable from battery#1 Positive terminal connects to Battery #2 Negative terminal.
The cable from battery#2 Positive terminal connects to Starter solenoid.

How do i wire two 12 volt car batteries to make one 24 volt battery?
To get 24 volts from two 12 volt batteries, hook the positive post from one battery to the negative post of the other.
How do you wire 3 batteries together to make 36 volts?
Take 3 twelve volt batteries Run the + of battery #1 to the - of battery #2. Run the + of battery #2 to the - of battery #3. Use the + of battery #3 for your positive feed, and the - of battery #1 for your ground.
Can 6 12 volt be wire to make 1 24 volt battery?
can 6 ,12 volt battery be wire to make in to one 24 volt battery for solar use in home
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.
How do you charge 6 volt batteries with a 12 volt charger?
If you have two 6 volt batteries you can take a jumper wire and connect the negative post on one battery to the positive post on the other battery then connect the remaining pos and neg posts to the 12 volt battery charger.
How do you wire three 12 volt batteries to make 36 volts?
wire it in series
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 two 12 volt car batteries to make 12 volt?
You would wire them in "Parallel". That means positive post to positive post and negative to negative. Two 12 volt batteries wired this way doubles the capacity and amperage capability of the system. It does not cause any harm to the electrical system as the system sees them as one big battery.
How do you wire 3 12 volt batteries to get 24 volts how to connect the wire?
Wire two of the 12 volt batteries in series and the third battery in parallel with the other two. As the two batteries wired in series will give you 24 volts but the amps of only one of the batteries, unless you need the extra amperage of that third battery I would just go with two batteries wired in series. But if you want to use three batteries then connect the positive from one battery to the negative of the other battery. This will give you 24 volts. Now just connect the negative of the third battery to the negative of the first battery connected in series with the second battery. Now connect the positive to the second battery to the positive of the third battery. You will now still have 24 volts but twice the amperage of one of the batteries.
How do you wire three 12 volt batteries to get 36 volts?
The batteries need to be wired in a series configuration. Wire the negative of the first battery to the positive of the second battery, and the negative of the second to the positive to the third. If the batteries were placed in a straight line they will look like train cars, with all positive ends of the batteries pointing in the same direction. The batteries voltages are now added together for three 12 volt batteries making 36 volts.
Where do you hook a 6 volt battery bank in series to charge with a 12 volt charger?
You will need two 6 volt batteries to do this. Attach a jumper wire from the negative post on one battery to the positive post on the other. Connect the remaining pos and neg posts to the battery charger.
Can you wire 12 volt agm but different amp hour batteries in series?
Yes, but know that when connected in series you will increase the voltage but the amps will stay the same as one battery. If you wire them in parallel you increase the amps but the voltage stays the same. Example: Connect two 12 volt batteries in series and you then have 24 volts with the same amperage as one battery. Connect two 12 volt batteries in parallel and you will have 12 volts but the amperage will double.
