How to recharge a motorcycle battery?
Connect the positive clip of the battery charger to the positive terminal on the battery. Connect the negative clip of the battery charger to the negative terminal on the battery. Select the charge rate you desire either 2,4, or 6 amp. The newer battery chargers will let you know when it is fully charged.

How do I hook tWO six volt batteries together to get 12volts?
Connect them in series. With the 2 batteries sitting side by side just connect the negative terminal (-) on battery # 1 to the positive terminal (+) of battery # 2. Now connect the red hot cable to the positive terminal of battery # 1. Then connect the negative black cable to battery #2. You will have 12 volts but the amperage of only 1 battery.

How do you hook a car fan to the battery to see if it works?
If you have the fan removed from the car, you can just quickly use jumpers to connect the negative terminal of the fan to the negative terminal of the battery, then connect another jumper to the positive terminal of the fan,and with insulated hands(!) touch the other end to the positive terminal of the battery. If the fan runs, it's fine.
How do you connect two deep cycle 12-volt batteries in parallel to an RV?
Assuming neither battery is used to start the engine, simply connect the positive (+) terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second battery. Then connect the negative (-) terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the second battery. Connect the load circuit to the positive and negative terminals of one of the batteries as usual. You may want to charge the batteries separately before making the connection, since connecting a charged battery to a discharged battery will result in a very large current flowing from the charged battery to the discharged battery, possibly damaging the wiring or either battery.
Can a diagram for two 12V deep cycle motor home batteries connected to output 12V be supplied?
You just connect them in Parallel. Two 12 volt batteries connected in parallel will output 12 volts. Two connected in Series will output 24 volts. Just connect the negative terminal on the first battery to the negative on the second battery. Then connect the positive terminal on first battery to the positive on the second battery. Connect the cables to the second battery, positive to positive and negative to negative. Click the link for a diagram.

Should you connect the pos or neg terminal first when replacing a car battery?
Assuming the vehicle has a negative earth You connect the positive lead first The reasoning When the positive lead is fitted first, if you dropped a spanner across the battery negative terminal to the car body all you would do is make the circuit. If you connect the Negative lead first, and you dropped a spanner across the positive battery terminal to the car body you would then have a dead short
