How do you connect two batteries in one car?

If the car is a 12 volt system, then you will want to connect the batteries in "parallel". IE: negative to negative and positive to positive. Because of "cranking amps" it would be advisable to use a cutoff switch when starting the car. (The switch would interrupt the power from one of the batteries so the amperage wouldn't toast the starter) Also, the alternator should be isolated as to charge the batteries one at a time.


When a car has two batteries how do you connect the second one?

You conect them in parelell. Positive to positive, negative to negative, with either a 12 or 6 volt system. if you conect them in series you will double the voltage.


Can you join batteries to make RC last longer?

You could put them in parallel--wire positive to positive, negative to negative, then connect the positive and negative wires to the car. This would give you twice the current capacity, and you'd be okay because the car's only going to take as much power as it needs. If you wired them in series--positive on the first battery to the car, negative on the first battery to positive on the second, negative on the second battery to the car--you'd double the voltage and burn the car out.


How do you tell a positive wire from a negative wire on a car?

On the car battery, the positive wire is red and the negative wire is black. If the body of the car is metal or conducts electricity, then the body of the car serves as the negative wire. The metal in the engine serves as the negative wire.
