I have 2 6 volt batteries for my RV. Is there anything different that should be done?

The 6Volt batteries should connected in series to make a 12V battery. (+) Batt-A connected (-) Batt-B. ----- DuraVolt (+) connected to (+) Batt-B and the DuraVolt (-) connected to (-) Batt-A . Please call us with any further questions or clarifications... rich j customer service.

Don't know what kind of system you have but we have ours on a RV and one wire came off and it cooked the two fuses on the inverter, cooked the inverter, and we had reverse polarity. So for the price of a 5.00 fuse that I could of had at our leads from the batteries it would of cured the big expense and headaches.

I can't say mine was a atv ride on best answer I can give look up where you got it are your old battery

You need to isolate a single battery assuming they are 12 volts each to get the 12 volts to the plug. 48 volts will fry anything you plug in to it. I have these plugs on the outside of my camper and in my boats and they work real well as long as you keep them clean. I use Master Blaster spray contact lubricant that can be found at any auto parts store.

Yes, but...If you have room for two batteries, it's more efficient to use two six-volt batteries in series rather than your idea if using two twelve volt batteries in parallel. In a parallel installation, the two batteries, even if matched in capacity and age, usually have slightly different charges and the lesser charged battery sucks current out of the other one. So the battery bank tend to self discharge. Two six volt golf cart batteries are your best bet.

I have done two things with mine, I added a battery the same size by paralleling it , but the best thing that has work for me is I purchased a 14ah 12 volt battery. If you want to add a second battery just wire the positive to the positive and the negative to the negative of the other battery.

I charge 2 6v lead-acid batteries (in series) with it for RV - have had no trouble. This link gives the various charge rates and protections. Not sure how the controller would handle 1 bad battery of 3 wired parallel.http://www.directdepot.net/manuals/Go_Power_MAN_GP-PSK_80.pdf

Im not really sure. What is your application. I use wet cell 6 volt golf cart batteries.

i used 12 gauge from the solar panels to the controller and from the controller to the batteries i used no 6 awg i already had here The no 6 is probably overkill i wouldnt go any less than 8 from the controller to the batteries what is your battery bank at least 24v i hope

You can use one of the two 12V settings. Here is a quick description of the different settings, per the manufacturer.Setting 1: 12-Volt large capacity batteries such as golf carts or trolling motor batteriesSetting 2: 12-Volt low capacity batteries such as lawn mower or motorcycles batteriesSetting 3: 6 Volt Batteries

I did this for my bike, Took 2 9 V batteries and strapped them on. I modified the wires so that they correspond with the batteries

I am assuming these are 24 volt systems in your equipment. If they are fully charged this might maintain the batteries and keep them topped off.

It comes down to voltage...not size. If your battery is 12volts size does not matter. Larger amp hour batteries take long to charge but provide more amp hours. This the perfect size for most RV windows. That means if it snows your batteries still get a charge.

I have the same setup on my travel trailer - two Trojan 6 volt in series, for 12 volts total. Just took it camping this weekend, with no hookups and went 3 days without having to run a generator. We used a small laptop, our house water pump, fridge, and furnace ran all three nights as well. Something to keep in mind is that all of my lights have been switched to led, and it was only slightly cloudy for us. I never bothered to check my actual voltage, but my stock wall meter was typically at 1/2 to 3/4 in the a.m., and full by sunset.Hope this helps

my 2013 trailer had a battery cutoff switch. I charge my trailer direct to the batteries but use the cutoff switch when operating my generator.

I have an RV and store the battery during the winter hooked up to it. It's now 6 years old and still fine.
