I've been doing a lot of research on wiring up house batteries and I think I have found the correct setup but cannot find a definite confirmation. I am going from 1 12v 92ah battery to 2 6v 200ah batteries. I chose this option as it doubles my time while keeping the amount of cells to a minimum. The setup is in the bed of my truck.
I run them in series to obtain 12v, correct?
Connect the positive from battery 1 to the battery isolator (which attaches to the + of my starting battery).
Connect the negative from battery 2 to the chassis.
Here lies my question. I found a lot of information on charging them so power is distributed equally, but adding the load is what is questionable. Does it matter where the + and - go as long as it bridges both batteries?
Here are my mockups. Is there a difference?
All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
