Connect them in Series and you will get 24 volts but the amperage will be the same as 1 battery.
2 batteries are wired in series then these 2 are wired in parallel with the other 2 which should also be wired in series. series is positive to negative and or negative to positive. parallel is pos. to pos. and neg. to neg.
both Neg to body(ground), Pos to Pos .. keeps 12 volts, higher amperage -=TWiG=-
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.
You can if you plan to convert all of your electrical system, starter, lights, gauges and accessories to 24 also. And change your battery to 2 batteries connected in series. Why would you want to??
In a parallel circuit, batteries are connected side by side, allowing each battery to provide power independently. In a series circuit, batteries are connected end to end, increasing the total voltage but requiring all batteries to work together to provide power.
The cells are the individual units that provide voltage. In a battery, several of them are connected in series, to provide a higher voltage.
Batteries are connected in series to add their voltages together. For example, two car batteries in series will give twenty four volts.
Yes, this is known as a parallel connection. When wired in this configuration you will get double the amp/hours out of the batteries over just using one battery. Batteries connected in series results in the voltages being additive. Batteries in parallel results in longer amp/hour capacity.
A way of connecting batteries together to provide more current is to connect them in parallel. This allows more capacity at the same voltage. If the batteries were connected in series the voltage would be increased.
No, the series connection of batteries does not double the voltage. The voltage increases with each additional battery connected in series.
Normally putting the batteries in series would have more effect.
