We run you through how to connect batteries in parallel in your 4x4, RV, caravan or camper, and why batteries in parallel fail early.
A bank of batteries is a group of two or more RV batteries that are connected using either series or parallel wiring. This allows you to store more power than would be possible with a single battery, and to increase amperage, voltage, or both. There is always a little confusion around this topic so today we are going to try and explain what you need to know about wiring

Fitting a second leisure battery (or two) should always be the first step. Ideally, you want to add an identical battery, so match the brand, capacity, age and size. Two leisure batteries will instantly double your off-grid capability. All motorhome systems are powered by 12V – think of your leisure battery as a bathtub full of water. When
They wire 3 of our 170 Ah batteries in series to give them over 17 hours of trolling motor time. That''s enough juice for a week long fishing tournament! Wiring a battery in parallel is a way to increase the amp hours of

Connecting your RV batteries in parallel is a common method for increasing their capacity. So how do you connect RV batteries in parallel? You''ll need to combine the positive terminals of each battery to one another, and link the negative terminals together as well.
All you have to do is make sure you have enough space in the battery compartment, add a new battery box to hold 2 batteries instead of one. Then wire the batteries in parallel fashion so there is no shorts or power drain. The batteries need to be the same as well.
When you want the batteries to be in parallel with each other, you connect the positive terminal of the second battery to the positive terminal of the first battery. Then you connect the negative terminals together in the same way. The second battery’s negative terminal is then connected to the ground. This is one way that we have described above.
Important: When wiring two 12-volt batteries to your RV, you must wire them in parallel to keep the same voltage. To wire in parallel, connect the red jumper cable to each battery’s positive terminal. Then take the black jumper cable and connect it to each of the negative terminals of the battery.
You can start by connecting two pairs of batteries using a short wire. Then take the two pairs and connect them using one long wire. This combines the two groups. You connect the RV Power wires to the center terminal that has both the short and long wire on it.
The main thing you need to know is that you parallel wire 12V batteries for RVs. You want the voltage to stay the same unlike when you wire 6V batteries in series because, in that case, you want to double the voltage. This way of parallel connecting 12V RV batteries technically works.
Especially if you go boondocking or dry camp, the dual battery system is a must for you and your RV. Before we dive into the wiring and installation of a dual battery, here is a quick recap of the benefits of adding that second RV battery: You have increased battery power.
