Assuming the batteries are identical: Mark batteries A, B, C, D
Group the batteries A and B, C and D.
Join A+ to B-, Join C+ to D-. This puts the batteries into a series connection. You now have (2) 24 volt batteries.
To place the batteries in parallel (ie: use all 4 batteries):
Join A- to C-, Join B+ to D+ and use the common terminals A-C- as the combined negative terminal, Use the B+D+ pair as the combined positive terminal.
A combination like this is known as a series parallel connection.
join the positive and negative

∙ 14y agoFirst you hook them up in pairs, positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative. This is a parallell connection. Then you hook the negatives from the first pair to the positives of the 2nd pair. That's known as a series connection. That'll give you 24 volts between the positives of the first pair and the negatives of the 2nd pair.

∙ 12y agoTo obtain 24Volts from two 12volts batteries, it must be connect the two batteries in series, i.e. the negative terminal of the first battery is connected to the positive terminal of the second battery. Now we can measure the voltage between the positive terminal of the first battery and th negative terminal of the second battery, the voltage is 24volts.

∙ 12y agoYes, wire 2 of them in Series which will give you your 24 volts. Then wire the 3rd battery in parallel with the other 2. You will have 24 volts output.

How do you wire three 12 volt batteries to make 36 volts?
wire it in series
Can you wire two 6 volt batteries together maintaining 6 volts but wire a separate plug off the batteries in such a way as to have a single isolated 12 volt plug?
Yes, series the two batteries to produce 12 volts. Tap off of the two end terminals for the 12 volts. Tap off of the series jumper for the 6 volts of one of the batteries. The two 6 volt batteries can not be paralleled in this connection as they will short out.
How do i wire two 12 volt car batteries to make one 24 volt battery?
To get 24 volts from two 12 volt batteries, hook the positive post from one battery to the negative post of the other.
Will wiring 2 batteries in series hurt your boat?
Depends on the battery size. If your boat is a 12 volt system and you wire two 12 volt batteries in series you then have 24 volts. If the batteries are 6 volt batteries you will be fine. If you have a 12 volt system on your boat and want to use two batteries then wire two 12 volt batteries in parallel. You will still have 12 volts but will have double the amperage available and this will extend the running time of the batteries.
How do you wire 3 batteries to get 24 volts?
Connect three 12 volt batteries in series. You will triple the amperage but the volts will remain at 12. Click the link
How do you wire 3 12 volt batteries to get 24 volts?
You do not need three 12 volt batteries to get 24 volts, all you need is two batteries. So I assume by using three batteries you want to increase the amperage. Wire two of the batteries in series and then wire the third battery to the second battery in parallel and you will have 24 bolts. Or you can just wire two 12 V batteries in series to get 24 V.
How do you wire four six volt batteries to make twelve volts?
Two in series, two in parallel The link below has a couple of diagrams.
How do I wire 3 batteries to make 24 volts?
That depends on what voltage your batteries are,
How do you use the voltage multiplier to get 27 volts out of one 9 volts battery?
You can only do that with a transformer. Or you can wire three 9 volt batteries in series to get 27 volts.
How to wire two 12 volt batteries to equal 12 volts?
You hook them in parallel pos to pos and neg to neg.
Can you wire a 12 volt DC adaptor into a machine that takes 4 D batteries without ruining it?
Four D batteries in series produce nominally 6 volts (1.5 volts per cell). A 12-volt supply may damage the machine built to run on 6 volts.
How do you wire three 12 volt batteries to get 36 volts?
The batteries need to be wired in a series configuration. Wire the negative of the first battery to the positive of the second battery, and the negative of the second to the positive to the third. If the batteries were placed in a straight line they will look like train cars, with all positive ends of the batteries pointing in the same direction. The batteries voltages are now added together for three 12 volt batteries making 36 volts.
