Battery cable selection
I am putting two 12V batteries together
http://www.batterymart.com/p-hawker-...t-battery.html to make a 24V battery. What size cable should I use to make the serial connection? http://shop.genuinedealz.com/Marine%...ttery%20Cable/ Thanks, Karl |

no, it will see half the amperage at same wattage

... no, it will see half the amperage at same wattage No Jim was correct. The amperage is the same. It is a series circuit - the amperage is the same throughout. If you were wiring two batteries in parallel (and getting 12 volts from the pair), then each battery would deliver 1/2 the amps (approx.) -- Geoff The Sea Hawk at Wow Way d0t Com remove spaces and make the obvious substitutions to reply by mail When immigration is outlawed, only outlaws will immigrate. |

not sooo fast, Mr.L'ectrzity!
supposed this guy got some bargain instuments (or radios, or starter or whatever else) BUT these are 24 volt units then you could come to this conclusion to join two batteries. In this case you will have half of the current flow compared to a 12V system. So you can use half the cross section of your cabling. Basic electics. "RST Engineering" schrieb im Newsbeitrag m...
