MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODE
I upgraded my RV’s 12 volt battery bank to 450 amp hours using four 6 volt deep cycle AGM batteries ordered from Amazon.com. I connected the four 225 Ah 6 volt batteries using a series parallel configuration. Each pair of batteries are connected in series, then the pairs are joined together in parallel. The result is a 12 volt battery bank with plenty of capacity to power an RV or small off-grid tiny home for a couple days depending on your needs.

BATTERY CONNECTION TIPS:
CONNECTING IN SERIES (two 6 volt batteries)
(HOW) Connect positive terminal on battery A to negative terminal on battery B.
(RESULT) Output Voltage is added together (12 volts total). Amp Hours remain the same.
CONNECTING BATTERIES in PARALLEL (two 12 volt battery pairs)
(HOW) Connect positive output terminal on battery pair A to positive on battery pair B. Connect negative terminal on battery pair B to negative terminal on battery pair B.
(RESULT) Output voltage remains the same (12V) and Amp Hours are added together (doubled)
