I ll go through each of these wiring methods below.
6 volt rv battery wiring diagram.
Step 2 connect the cable leads from the rv or trailer to the two 6 volt batteries.
Connecting 6 volt batteries in series.
Wiring batteries in a series.
Connect negative or ground cable to the negative terminal of one of the two 6 volt batteries that is not in the series connection look at diagram again notice the battery terminals used.
Below is a collection of quick reference diagrams on hooking up multiple 6 volt and 12 volt batteries to create 6v 12v 24v 48v etc as required for energy storage systems commonly found in residential and off grid solar hydro and wind systems.
Wiring batteries in.
Connect positive terminal on battery a1 to negative terminal on battery a2 repeat this on batteries b1 and b2.
The result would be a battery bank that produces 12v and 225ah.
The outcome of connecting batteries in series is the that voltage output is added together 12 volts total the amp hours remain the same.
In a series configuration the batteries are wired per the diagram below and the result would be a doubling of the voltage while the capacity remains the same.
In our illustration we show two 6v batteries with 225ah wired together.

Connect positive cable first to the positive terminal of one of the two 6 volt batteries that is not in the series connection.
The good news is you can combine series and parallel wiring with 6 volt batteries so you can combine 4 or more and keep the voltage at 12 for your rv but increase the amp hours.
