how do you get 24volts? serial connect two battery together? please help

Yes, connect two 12-volt batteries in series to get 24-volts. Here is an article with an image of this: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Marine-Battery-Wiring/531785.uts

If using 4 12 v batts hook them up in parallel + to + to + to + . Same for negative posts.. 4 6v batts make 2 12 v batts by hooking two 6 v in series.. Hook pos. to neg on 2 bats then do same for other 2 6 v. now you have 2 12v batts. Hook + to + and - to -... Now you have 1 super 12v batt. Feed regulated panel power to charge them. Use inverted power as needed

I am an electrical engineer this can be confusing. 1. even though the battery part number is 6-DW-5 the battery is 12Volts and 5 Amp hour2. the batteries are connected in series. 24V operation3. the controller wires connect: black neg wire connects to one battery. red pos wire connects to other battery4. the circuit breaker connects between the 2 batteries. red pos wire connects to first battery, black neg wire connects to other battery. make sure wire colors match polarity on batteries.5.you can replace the soldered connections with slide on terminals. however soldering is best if you have the skill.

Yes you can hook them up together in parallel and the voltage will remain the same but the amperage will be 4 times that of one panel. You will definitely need a charge controller with what is going to amount to 80 watts of panel input to the battery. It might be helpful to know more specifics about what you plan to do. If you want to just keep a battery up this is far more panel than you need. If you plan to use the battery daily to power things than 80 watts may or may not be sufficient depending on the size of the battery, the wattage/amperage draw of the loads, and how much daily sun you anticipate. There are a lot of variables. You will also definitely need fuses for fire safety. Hope this helps. BTW, it might be cheaper to buy a singe 80 watt panel as opposed to four 20 watt panels.

The one I bought was already set up to run 24 volt. It's in the directions.

You need to keep your voltage all the same, you can use this controller with a 24 volt panel but you need to have your batteries wired at 24 volts and if your using an inverter it needs to support 24 volts.

You need to determine if its 24 vdc or 12 vex. If its wired both pos. And both neg. Together its 12 vdc in parallel. If its wired straight though from one battery to the next pos. To neg its 24. You hook the pos. From your battery to the pos on the controller terminal with pic of the battery. And neg like wise. That should be it.

Hi, I hear you, they didn't make it easy - especially to wire the backup power supply on the side pins. Just treat it as if it is simply wires in line - red (plus) from source to red of battery, and the same for black. For the side pins - backup battery to keep the data on screen when source power is low - like at night for solar supplies, just connect negative to top pin and positive to second pin - it must be a minimum of 3v to work and will drain a 9v battery in about 3 days. Good luck!

There should be a negative and positive terminal where you can put a wire in and clamp it as seen in the picture near the bottom corner the two terminals. You'll need to take a 9V battery and get one of those connectors where it connects to both of the battery's leads and turns them into a red and black wire.Put those wires into the terminals respectively and it should be powered

Be careful. There are two 24V batteries. One is call enhanced 24V battery which is not interchangeable with the standard 24V battery.

Yes. You connect the battery with the charge controller. This is only for 12Volt battery. If you have 24volts, you will need to replace the charge controller with a MPPT one.

Yes it will work. I'm using two 100 watt panels wired in series to get 24 volts running to the charge controller and then to my 12 volt battery bank. works great. You'll have have less resistance from the panel to the controller in 24 volts as well.

I am not an electrician but what you want it to do makes sense to me.The two lugs would accept the 110V lines and the 24V would connect to the side connectors.Best of luck.

Go to how to wire an EZGO battery By Robert Ceville, this explanes the series conection.And first post ,positive & neg.

only pick one battery to hook up to ---it should give you 12volt ---if your running 4- 12volt batteries that is

I had to hook up 2 12v battery to make it a 24v bank and plus a solar charge controller between the panel and the battery bank to prevent over charging

you can connect it in parallel (+ to +, - to -) for double the capacity at 12 volts or in series (- on one battery connected to + on the other battery) with the output being 24 volts. I used a small insulated wires with crimped male and female connectors you can get at just about anywhere such as auto parts to Walmart, Home Depot, Amazon etc. Just be careful to have tight connectors without any paths causing a short or ground. Good Luck!
