[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 464718, member: 22374"] To get 24 volts your two batteries are wired in SERIES and the TM is wired to the + of one battery, and the - of the other. But... for 12 volt systems using this setup you wire to the + and - terminals of ONE of the two batteries. Try it, measure the + on one battery, and the - on the second, you will see ~24v. Then measure just the + and - of ONE battery and you will see ~ 12 volts. Since I run all electric if I ever ran a gas engine again, I'd run a separate battery for it. [/QUOTE]
