Does running two 12v batteries in parallel increase only running time or will it add power as well?

That should prolong the running time but will not increase the power. Hope it help.

Using 2 batteries will double the capacity or run time but doesn't increase the power to the 12 volt motor.Never connect the batteries in series as this will give you 24 volts which will destroy the motors electronic control circuitry and may cause a fire and or a battery explosion.

Yes, the product manual shows a wiring diagram for how to wire 2 12v batteries in parallel. I am only running one battery right now, but I was originally planning on doing this. This kit works so well with my small trailer I don't even need 2 batteries. I have an 18ft trailer and low power requirements. If you are in the sun/partial sun they trickle charge all day and only start using juice in the evening/night. My battery rarely goes below 85% and is usually fully charged by 8-9am. There are videos that will help with your installation on the GoPower web site and YouTube.

if you have 12v batteries in series your adding to the voltage therefore your batteries together are 24v not 12 anymore. if they are in parallel then you will still have 12v just double your amp hours. this charger says its for 12v only i wouldn't recommend it.

If you are asking if charging time increases for 2 batteries versus 1, the answer is yes.

Yes, you can connect ten batteries in parallel.It's important that all the batteries be of the same type and condition if possible. This improves both the safety and performance of the battery bank.

It runs on both. 3 batteries size D or DC Power Converter (available on line) but I don't know if you can use both simultaneously. The converter can be useful especially in low temperature situation where batteries can run out really fast or even be ineffective.

It shouldn't matter, since they are in parallel. I have an eight-battery, parallel setup in which I connected it to the last one in line, because it is the closest to my control panel.

A 12V battery is too powerful. You need around 3V, or you could add a resistor in series with the 12V one.

Wire the 2 12V Batteries in Parallel so that the Batteries remain 12Volt DC and not 24Volt DC in Series.

It is two 12V batteries, if you wire them in parallel you will get 12V but double the capacity (this is what I did for my boys' power wheels, now they drive forever). If you wire them in series you will get 24V.

No power increase, but Voltage reduction, 13.8v to 7.8v. I run mine at 12.5v, it will last much longer. DaVeeD

You would have to stack the batts and since you at 3 v now, I would not suggest doubling at 6v. I'd look for another battery. Not very dependable.

Depends on if you want to run in series or parallel. I would recommend grounding them independent and using your current 12v "positive" wire to power them. Take the "hot" wire from your current light bar and splice the positive wire from these into it. If you're unsure which one is positive touch both leads to your battery they only work one way.

Hi, this is a voltage increasing device. Current will actually be a little less. If you want to increase the amount of charge power, you need to get a bigger alternator for your bike, or buy a large boost convertor that runs off a isolated battery. Dan

The batteries may be wired together in either parallel or series configurations - depends on your needs. Parallel wiring = increased amp/hr rating at same voltage Series wiring = increased voltage at same amp/hr rating

Rajesh,The run time depends on the size of your battery not the inverter.Joe
