g'day everyone,

recently i decided to
upgrade to a duel battery bank with my small solar setup,

iv been using a single battery up to now,just a 12volt system.

so i brought two new 80amp hour deep cycle batteries.

my question is when the batteries are wired in pararell mode,

which battery terminals do i use to connect

the volt meter to? battery 1 or battery 2,or what?

cheers
bobt

Bobt, this is something easily tested with a volt meter

By parallel you mean you connected the positive terminals of both batteries together.
You also connected both negative terminals to each other with a separate link strap.

Connecting a volt meter at either battery will show the exact same voltage, they are connected together after all.

Simple, isn't it?
