Wiring batteries in series parallel combination.
Wiring diagram for 4 6 volt rv batteries.
I ll go through each of these wiring methods below.
If you use solar power or have a large motorhome you may need a more powerful rv battery.
Fridge slides water pump built in lighting etc.
With the positive from one battery connected to the negative of the other battery you have in essence created one 12 volt battery out of two 6 volt batteries.
Watch as jc demonstrates how to properly connect four 6 volt rv ba.
The essential devices pull from those batteries.
Two 6 volt batteries above and two 12 volt batteries left.
In a series parallel combo configuration the batteries are wired per the diagram below and the result would be a doubling of the voltage and doubling of the capacity.
The good news is you can combine series and parallel wiring with 6 volt batteries so you can combine 4 or more and keep the voltage at 12 for your rv but increase the amp hours.
Kenny i am trying to figure out which was is better for running a popup camper the longest i know you cant be exact without knowing how much is running by wiring 2 6 volt golf cart batteries together to make the 12 volts or 2 12 volt deep cell batteries for the more amps.
Take a look at the diagrams here.
As i stated before when you wire batteries in series the voltage increases and the amperage stays.
I also have and want to use a 45 watt and poss buying more solar.
Here we have two 6 volt batteries wired in series.
Take a look at the diagram above.
The most observant among you might notice that rv appliances and plumbing are all powered via 12 volt dc.
Rvs have house batteries so dc is the most accessible source of power for an rv.
Before adding the extra solar i ve decided to first upgrade the battery bank with 4 fresh six volt batteries with a total capacity of 464 ah.
If you wire two 200ah 6 volt batteries together in series you end up with 12 volts but the amp hours remain 200.
