I want to install 4 6 volt batteries in my motor home i need to make two 12 volt for my hooh you?

Answer 1

If you want to install four 6-volt batteries in your motorhome and create two 12-volt systems (for example, one for your coach and one for your chassis or accessories), here's how you can do it:

1. Step-by-Step Instructions:

Pair the Batteries in Series

Connect two 6-volt batteries in series to make one 12-volt bank:

Connect the positive terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the second battery.

The free terminals (one positive, one negative) now form a 12-volt battery.

Repeat for the Second Pair

Do the same with the remaining two 6-volt batteries to create the second 12-volt system.

Connect Both 12-Volt Systems as Needed

If your motorhome requires parallel 12-volt banks for increased capacity (Amp-Hours), you can connect the two 12-volt banks in parallel: positive to positive and negative to negative.

Or keep them separate if they’re for different applications (e.g., one for coach, one for starting).

2. Pro Tips:

Always use batteries of the same age, brand, and capacity for best results.

Install a battery isolator if you're keeping the two 12V systems separate.

Use properly rated cables and fuses for safety.

Answer 2

To create a 12-volt system using four 6-volt batteries, connect two batteries in series to form one 12-volt pair. Repeat this with the other two batteries for a second 12-volt pair. Then, connect the two 12-volt pairs in parallel to maintain the 12-volt output while doubling the capacity. Ensure all connections are secure and use appropriate cabling to handle the load.
