I have configured 4, Trojan 12 volt Superior Cycling J185H batteries as 24 volts to my Vannier 4500 inverter. What would be the +,- to adding a 5th battery?
I would connect it parell to one of the existing.

Absolute waste of money. Adding one battery will make usage & wear on the ones not paired much greater than the parallel pair. The 3 unpaired batterys will fail much before the paired pair. However adding groups of 4 more will allow much less deep cycles for all, hence is good.

Hello Joe.

Yup, what Jerry said.

The battery set must be balanced and symetrical or you will ruin your batteries prematurely.

happy coaching!
