UL Recognized Component
During recharge, the current (amps) is split between the
batteries. The battery that is discharged the most will receive
more current than the other until both are brought up to full
charge.
Series/Parallel
A “series/parallel” system provides a combination of voltage
and capacity for special applications. Note: Never mix different
types and sizes of batteries in the same bank.
Dual Voltage
The illustration shows an arrangement that would supply
24 volts to a starter and 12 volts to the electronics (or vice versa).

To properly recharge, a sophisticated “battery isolator” should
be installed. Otherwise, one battery will be continually over-
charged and the other undercharged in a dual-voltage set-up.
IMPORTANT: Do not install any type of battery in a com-
pletely sealed box or enclosure. In the event of overcharg-
ing, the potentially explosive gasses must be allowed to
escape.
