Bakerman Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I know I've put up a few extra posts today, but bare with me. I'm puttin four extra batteries in the hatch of my tahoe. What is the correct way to wire them. In a series, positive from one battery to the negative of the other, or in a series where both positives and both negatives are hooked together. I know what this does to Ohms when wiring speakers and amps, but I have no idea what effect this has on batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David711 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Don't do series! That gets your volts up really really high. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's what it does Quote "WHOEVER SAID MONEY CAN'T BUY HAPPINESS MUST OF BEEN BROKE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotloud555 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Most peoples wire it down to parrallel but not series.. I don't see the point of wiring down to series when you got bank of battery... uhmmm..Unless you're charging it then that something different.. I think...

Superjay Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 think of it like this...in series you add voltage...in parallel you add amperage.
