Re: Trying to set up two battery system

It pretty much depends on what you're trying to accomplish with two batteries.

Are you trying to get 24 volts (connect in series) ?
Are you trying to increase the amp-hour capacity (connect in parallel) ?
Are you wanting a reserve battery (use a perko type switch) ?
Are you wanting a separate battery for accessories and/or a trolling motor (get a dual battery isolator) ?
