Wiring diagram for 4 6 volt rv batteries.
I also have and want to use a 45 watt and poss buying more solar.
The essential devices pull from those batteries.
Before adding the extra solar i ve decided to first upgrade the battery bank with 4 fresh six volt batteries with a total capacity of 464 ah.
Wiring batteries in series parallel combination.
Watch as jc demonstrates how to properly connect four 6 volt rv ba.
In our illustration we show four 4 6v batteries with 225ah wired together.
Front storage bay old battery setup and wiring as an rv battery bank upgrade i m removing the 2 old six volt trojans and single 12 volt battery and simplifying things into one 4 battery bank.
In a series parallel combo configuration the batteries are wired per the diagram below and the result would be a doubling of the voltage and doubling of the capacity.
The good news is you can combine series and parallel wiring with 6 volt batteries so you can combine 4 or more and keep the voltage at 12 for your rv but increase the amp hours.
Kenny i am trying to figure out which was is better for running a popup camper the longest i know you cant be exact without knowing how much is running by wiring 2 6 volt golf cart batteries together to make the 12 volts or 2 12 volt deep cell batteries for the more amps.
I ll go through each of these wiring methods below.
Take a look at the diagrams here.
Take a look at the diagram above.
The most observant among you might notice that rv appliances and plumbing are all powered via 12 volt dc.
At the basic level two 6 volt batteries are wired in series and two or more 12 volt batteries are wired in parallel in order to produce 12 volts final output.
If you wire two 200ah 6 volt batteries together in series you end up with 12 volts but the amp hours remain 200.
If you use solar power or have a large motorhome you may need a more powerful rv battery.
As i stated before when you wire batteries in series the voltage increases and the amperage stays.
Two 6 volt batteries above and two 12 volt batteries left.
