How to Connect Truck Battery to Four 6V Batteries Wired in Series or Parallel
Question:
How do I connect the truck battery to a series/parallel Connection using 4- 6 volt batteries in the trailer. The wire is already in the hitch of the trailer but I am not sure which battery to connect the neg and pos wires to.

Expert Reply:
When wiring your truck's battery to the four 6V batteries in your trailer, you will want to connect it to the positive terminal on the first battery. Then the negative terminal on the last/fourth battery will go to ground. This will be the case whether they are wired in series or in parallel.
