No Yes. hook two in series, two in parallel.
To get 24 volts from two 12 volt batteries, hook the positive post from one battery to the negative post of the other.
Connect two 6 volt batteries in series. Connect the other two 6 volt batteries in series. Now connect those 2 pairs you have together in parallel. You will end up with 12 volts.
You would need to connect the two 12 volt batteries in series. That will give you 24 volts and the amps of one of the batteries. Voltage doubles and amps stay the same.
NO. Absolutely not, you must hook them in parallel. Two 12 volt batteries hooked in series will give you 24 volts with the same A/H of one of the batteries. Hook them in parallel and you will still have 12 volts and double the A/H of one of the batteries.
Two 6 volt batteries connected together in parallel will still maintain 6 volts but their amperage capacity will be doubled.
You hook them in parallel pos to pos and neg to neg.
Yes, if the two 6 volt batteries were connected together in series.
Use a series parallel configuration. Two batteries in series to get the 12 volts. Three parallel banks of two batteries to get an increase of amp hours.
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.
Connect them in Series and you will get 24 volts but the amperage will be the same as 1 battery.
you only need two 12 volt batteries to make 24 volt. connect them in series
