Assuming both batteries are alike in voltage, and preferably current:
For twelve volts, connect the negative to the positive of the other. That will be a series connection, and then use the open negative and positive connections for 12 volt operation.
For 6 volts, but twice the power, connect the positive to the positive and the negative to negative, and use this combination for six volt operation but twice the available current.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER connect two batteries together with one's positive to the other's negative and the negative to the other's positive. Results? BOOOM!!!!! (And I'm not joking.)

∙ 15y agoConnect them in parallel, negative post to negative post, positive post to positive post. This configuration will give you the same voltage and twice the crank capacity if it is being used on a vehicle. Great setup for cold winter starts.

∙ 9y agoChange the 6 volt generator to a 12 volt alternator. Replace the starter & battery with a 12 volt. Replace every single bulb on the vehicle with a 12 volt bulb. You may also need to replace the coil. Also replace any electronic devices designed for 6 volts with ones designed for 12 volts.

What is an active guitar pick-up?
they are more powerful made mostly for metal like Slayer Ozzy Osbourne and so on, the two big brands are EMG and Seymour Duncan. they use batteries in them (9 volt batteries) which last over 2000 hours for either brand, so its just like normal ones but some argue they sound better and they cancel a lot of the hum normal pickups tend to do.
A radio has 8 batteries two of which are defective If two batteries are selected at random without replacement find the probability that both are defective?
I haven't done statistics in a while but I think it should go like this (1/8) * (1/7) = (1/56)
What is stronger a 1 amp battery charger or a 9v battery?
You cannot compare these two totally different things. As far as amperage the charger puts out more amps if it is an auto battery charger and also puts out 12 volts. If you are talking about a 9 volt battery charger then the battery may or may not be more powerful, it depends on how many mii-amps the charger is putting out.
How many CD's have The Veronicas made?
The Veronicas have made two albums, The Secret Life Of... and Hook Me Up
Can Nimh batteries can be charged with Nicd charger?
It is always better to use a charger designed to charge a particular battery type. Using a NiCad charger for NiMh batteries or vice versa can cause damage to the charger or batteries, especially if the charger is designed to charge the batteries in under two hours. The worst case is a fire risk. Some charger and battery combinations will work perfectly well together but it is safe to assume that the charger will only be suitable for the battery types stated on it.
How do you hook 2 6 volt batteries together and still maintain 6 volts?
Two 6 volt batteries connected together in parallel will still maintain 6 volts but their amperage capacity will be doubled.
Can you operate a 12volt devise from 2 12 volt batteries hooked inseries?
NO. Absolutely not, you must hook them in parallel. Two 12 volt batteries hooked in series will give you 24 volts with the same A/H of one of the batteries. Hook them in parallel and you will still have 12 volts and double the A/H of one of the batteries.
How do i wire two 12 volt car batteries to make one 24 volt battery?
To get 24 volts from two 12 volt batteries, hook the positive post from one battery to the negative post of the other.
How to wire two 12 volt batteries to equal 12 volts?
You hook them in parallel pos to pos and neg to neg.
How do you hook up 12 volts lights using 6 6 volt batteries?
Use a series parallel configuration. Two batteries in series to get the 12 volts. Three parallel banks of two batteries to get an increase of amp hours.
How to hook a 24 volt trolling motor to 2 12 volt batteries?
You would need to connect the two 12 volt batteries in series. That will give you 24 volts and the amps of one of the batteries. Voltage doubles and amps stay the same.
How do you hook up 4 6volt batteries to get 12 volt?
Connect two 6 volt batteries in series. Connect the other two 6 volt batteries in series. Now connect those 2 pairs you have together in parallel. You will end up with 12 volts.
How do you get 24 volts from 2 batteries not in series?
Two 24 volt batteries in parallel will give you 24 volts. The only other way is two 12 volt batteries in series.
Can you wire two 6 volt batteries together maintaining 6 volts but wire a separate plug off the batteries in such a way as to have a single isolated 12 volt plug?
Yes, series the two batteries to produce 12 volts. Tap off of the two end terminals for the 12 volts. Tap off of the series jumper for the 6 volts of one of the batteries. The two 6 volt batteries can not be paralleled in this connection as they will short out.
How do you convert 2 eight volt batteries to a 12 volt battery?
You can not. Looks like you have the two and eight backwards in the question as you can reconfigure eight 2 volt batteries to produce 12 volts. Think out of the box. Parallel two sets of two batteries in series for a total of four volts. Then add four batteries in series for an additional eight volts. You now have a total of twelve volts.
Will wiring 2 batteries in series hurt your boat?
Depends on the battery size. If your boat is a 12 volt system and you wire two 12 volt batteries in series you then have 24 volts. If the batteries are 6 volt batteries you will be fine. If you have a 12 volt system on your boat and want to use two batteries then wire two 12 volt batteries in parallel. You will still have 12 volts but will have double the amperage available and this will extend the running time of the batteries.
How do you connect two battery for 24 volts?
Connect two 12 volt batteries in series and you will have 24 volts.
