Connecting Batteries in Series
When you connect two batteries in series, you will double the
voltage of the battery bank. The amp-hour capacity of the
battery bank will be the same as the amp-hour capacity of
each individual battery.
For example, two 6-volt, 220 amp-hour batteries connected in
series will produce one 12-volt, 220 amp-hour battery bank.
To connect batteries in series
1. Attach the battery cable to the first battery’s positive (+)
terminal.
2. Attach the other end of the battery cable to the second
battery’s negative (-) terminal.
3. To connect the battery bank to the Freedom Inverter/
Charger, see Installation “Step 4: Connect the battery
cables” on page 23.
Each battery capacity:
220 amp-hours
@ 6 volts DC
