Wiring!!!!

Can I wire two batteries like this?

[andym85]

yes :^...might wanna thow a fuse in there near the 1st battery, and maybe another after the 2nd battery depending on how close it is to the amp...

[polish1327]

3 feet from the amp

[andym85]

eehhhh...your call...most might not, but i personally always fuse

[Guest MegaloManiac]

yep. that wiring you just showed is in "parallel"...remember that term.

looks good.

run a fuse 3" form each battery POS(+)

[polish1327]

So pretty much 1 fuse from the first to the second battery and then second fuse amps. Correct right? What do you mean by parallel? What amp fuse should I use when battery to battery?

[Guest MegaloManiac]

show off my mad skillz

if you were to wire the bats in "Series" youd get a 24V load(blow the sh!t out of your amps and whole electrical system)

in paralel you increase current while retaing voltage

What do you mean by parrel and series?

[Guest MegaloManiac]

paralel is what you drew up.

Parele: pos to pos; neg to neg.........you still get 12v

Series would be: neg to ground; pos from 2st bat to neg on 2nd battery; and pos from 2nd batery to pos on amp and you would ground amp...24V load

Series is like Neg to positive yah correct?  Sorry for asking but what fuse amperage should I use from the first bat to the second bat? I going to buy a 200amp alternator
