I would think hooking them in parralel (positive-positive, negative-negative) would give you twelve volts, the same as jump starting a car.
If you hooked them in series, you would increase the voltage to 24v. You should be able to find the short connector cables at any parts store. [coveringmyass]I could be wrong.[/coveringmyass] |

John, wasted is right.
Doing them in parallel will give you 12v and twice the juice. That's connecting the positive of one to the positive of the other, and the same with the negative. |

yep..
positive to positive / negative to negative (+) - (+) (-) - (-) not sure if you got it right? check with a multimeter before hooking up. |

Wasted_life has it right.
Connect Pos-to-Pos and Neg-to-Neg, this produces a parrallel circuit. |

Thanks. You should have seen me in the shed, sitting in the boat with a red lead in one hand and a black lead in the other.

I'm not an electrician and I don't play one on TV but...
For a 12v system wire the positve to positive and negative to negative. For a 24v system wire the positive of one to the negative of the other. The unwired positive terminal is your new positive terminal and the unwired negative terminal is your new negative terminal. |

sure.
And remember conservation of power.....P=P. Anyone know the benefit of distributing a 24V system instead of a 12V system??? Hint: P=VI By converting known units to to Coulombs and Joules...one can determine how long a battery pack will run a given load. Or, we can conert A*hrs to Watt*minutes. Having to guess, those two series 24 cells (marine, sum=200 Ahr) should provide 1kW for about 15min. |
