12v to 24v wiring

**Sawdustsavage** · 08-18-2018, 10:05 PM

I just bought a 24v tm. My old one was a 12v. I have 2 12v batteries to hook up in series to get the 24v. I have a 2 bank 12v charger. Can I charge the 24v series with it?

Yes, just hook one set of leads to each battery and it will charge 12 volts to that battery.

Not 100% sure what you are asking, but if they are the only two batteries you run, you can hook each up to a set of wires. If you are asking if you can run one 12v set of wires to both batteries, you can do that as well, though charge times will double or more. Some of the new smart chargers will pick up the voltage being too high and shut down, but I know guys who have done it w success.

You can NOT hook 1 set of wires to both batteries when they are connected in series. Only when they are connected in parallel.
