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.


Will a 12 volt bulb get hot?

Yes. Many 12 volt bulbs get very dangerously hot, for instance the 12 volt bulbs that are commonly used in vehicle headlights and in small 12 volt 50 watt overhead ceiling lights in homes.


What wattage 12 volt inverter do you need to drive a 240 volt quarter horsepower pump motor?

You need to find the wattage of the pump motor. This is found by multiplying the voltage of the motor by the amperage of the motor. Once you have this figure use it to find an inverter that can handle this wattage load at a 240 volt output.


1952 dodge truck is it a 12 volt system or 6 volt system?

The 1952 Dodge truck line used a 6 volt electical system with a generator.


What has more power a 5 amp grass trimmer or a 18 volt one?

At a specific voltage the higher the amperage the higher the rated horsepower of the motor. You will see the amperage rating used when manufactures sell hand tools. A saw that draws 12 amps, it is stated, is better than the saw that draws 9 amps. As the question stands a comparison can not be made between voltage and amps.

How do you connect a 12 volt winch to 24 volt system?

Connect the 12V winch to one battery, assuming the 24V system has two batteries, connected in series.


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.


Why is 240 volt electricity more dangerous than 12 volt electricity?

It is neither more or less dangerous . The determining danger factor is amperage.


If a 50 amp fuse rated 32 volts is used in a 12 volt circuit at what amperage will it fail?

The fuse will fail at 50 amps regardless of which voltage you use.


Can a semi truck crank the engine when bettery bellow 12 volt?

Yes, so long as it has the amperage to do so.


12 volt boat winch and you want to hook it to mains 240volt or is it easier just to run it off a battery?

You can hook up a battery and 240v 12v heavy duty charger system,that is the easiest way to get over that problem. The charger has to deliver enough amperage to cover the load from the winch.RegardsJohn Cas


Can you add DC voltage in parallel?

Connecting 12 volt DC batteries in parallel will increase amperage available, but voltage will remain 12 volts.


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 three 12 volt batteries in series. You will triple the amperage but the volts will remain at 12. Click the link


What is the different between Car audio fuse and regular fuse?

Nothing as long as both are 12 volt fuses of the same amperage.


Are you able to set up a 24 volt system in your 12 volt land rover to run a 24volt winch?

Yes, you will need to install a second 12V battery in series with your existing 12V battery to supply 24V to the winch. However, to keep them charged, they have to be charged in parallel. You'll need a schematic to do this correctly and not damage the winch or batteries. I recommend you contact the winch manufacturer for a schematic. It might be best to purchase two new 12V batteries to operate the winch and not tie into your Land Rovers battery. I would purchase "deep cycle" marine batteries such as are used in boats and RVs. These will give you the best performance They are available anywhere batteries are sold.


How do you use 6 deep cycle batteries to make one 36 volt battery?

Connect three 12 volt batteries in series and you will have 36 volts but will only have the amperage of one of the batteries.
