[QUOTE="JIMMYTHEFISH, post: 289567, member: 8915"] Hey guys, Love the website. Right now I have one battery powering my 12,V T.M. I want more run time so I want to add a 2nd Battery in the bow. I understand wiring in parallel should keep me at 12 V. Im unsure how to connect the second battery. Ive heard not to put more than one wire on a battey post, batteries must be same size and age and wires must all be the sme length... Any truth to these? Also can I charge both batteries at the same time? Or should I disconnect all the wires befor charging them one at a time. Im looking for something simple that I wont have to fuss with on or off the water. Thanks, hope to hear back [/QUOTE]
