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 tell voltage of most car batteries?
Take a multimeter and set it to the 20 volt dc scale. Touch the red probe to the positive post and the black probe to the negative post. The positive post is slightly larger. Automotive batteries have been 12 volts DC since the late 50s.
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 connect two 12 volt batteries into a 24 volt hitachi ex60 excavator?
Connect the two 12 volts batteries in Series. Battery 1 & 2. Connect the negative post (-) of battery 1 to the negative (-) ground cable. Then connect the positive (+) post of battery 1 to the negative (-) post of battery 2. Connect the positive (+) post of battery 2 to the positive (+) cable. You now have 24 volts as the batteries are wired in series.
How do you connect two deep cycle 12 volt batteries in parallel to an RV?
First off you must have the same type batteries. Connect the positive post of the first battery to the positive post of the second battery. Then connect the negative post of the first battery to the negative post of the second battery. Now connect the positive post of the first battery to the positive connection on the vehicle. Then connect the negative post of the first battery to the negative cable of the vehicle. Click the link for a diagram.

How can you use three 12 volt batteries to make 24 volts?
You only need 2 12 volt batteries to get 24 volts. Join the negative post on one battery to the positive post on the other battery with a cable then connect the remaining positive and negative posts to the vehicle that has a 24 volt system.
How do you hook two automotive 12 volt batteries and still get 12 volts?
In parallel. IE: Positive terminal to positive terminal, Negative terminal to negative terminal. Same as boosting a car batery.
What is positive 12 minus positive 12?
12 - 12 = 0
How do you hook up two 12 volt batteries to get 12 volts?
Assuming both batteries are alike in voltage, and preferably current: For twelve volts, connect the negative to the positive of the other. That will be a series connection, and then use the open negative and positive connections for 12 volt operation. For 6 volts, but twice the power, connect the positive to the positive and the negative to negative, and use this combination for six volt operation but twice the available current. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER connect two batteries together with one's positive to the other's negative and the negative to the other's positive. Results? BOOOM!!!!! (And I'm not joking.)
How do you charge two 6 volt batteries with a 12 volt charger?
Remove any wiring from batteries, connect positive post of one battery to the negative post on the other battery. You now have a 12 volt battery system. Connect your charger to to unused positive and negative posts and they will charge as a 12 volt battery. Need more help contact me through my board and I will try to help
What are the steps behind installing a car audio capacitor?
First, the capacitor must be charged. Use a voltmeter, and when it reaches 12 volts, the capacitor is charged. The capacitor should then be installed near the car audio amplifier. Keep the negative wire attached to the battery. Then, a ground wire from the negative post on the capacitor to the car's chassis on the chassis's bare metal ground point. Next, the power wire needs to be disconnected from the amplifier's power input. Connect the wire to the positive post on the capacitor. A new power wire needs to be connected from the capacitor's positive post to the amplifier's power input. Install a 16 gauge wire from the capacitor's remote turn-on post to the amplifier's remote input. Then disconnect the negative wire from the battery.
