You must hook them up in series. You will need four 12 volt batteries to do this.

Can you charge two 12 volt batteries wired in series without disconnecting them with a 12 volt charger?

No, since in series they are 24 volts so you need to charge each one independently with the 12 volt charger. This may be done disconnected or leave them connected and put the charger on the + - of the same battery.


12 kilo volts is equal to how many volts?

12kv is equal to 12000 volt.(12*1000).


How do you make a circuit with 3 bulbs 2 switches and and 2 batteries where the 1st switch controls the lighting of all the bulbs and the 2nd switch controls the lighting of the second bulb?

Connect the two batteries for the voltage needed. If they are 12 volt batteries and the lights are 12 volts, connect the batteries in parallel (negative to negative and positive to positive). If they are 12 volt batteries and the lights are 24 volts, connect the batteries in series (negative of one battery to positive of the other). Run a wire from batteries to first switch, then to two of the lights and the other switch (in parallel). From the second switch run a wire to the third light, then connect all three lights back to the battery.


If you have four batteries in series what is the output voltage?

depends on the voltage of the batteries.. four 12 volt car batteries would output 4x12 = 48 v


Which is better for trailer operation two six volt batteries in series or two 12 volt in parallel?

I would opt for the two twelve volt batteries in parallel. This configuration will give you the voltage that you need for the system to properly operate plus the endurance time that you can draw from the batteries will be doubled. The amp/hours capacity of batteries when in parallel are additive.
