Hi guys,

I just purchased 4 12v deep cycle batteries (for house batteries) and because I'm weak on automotive electrical issues I could use advise on hooking them up.
I have an NJ Eagle 20, with a 300amp alternator. How do I use the alternator to charge the "house batteries"?
When connecting the 4 batteries together to maintain 12v do you connect poss (+) to neg (-)?
Any info or help is appreciated.
Regards, Wayne

Check out the West Marine catalog. A battery "combiner" will do what you want automatically.Cost around $280.00

Pos to neg will increase the voltage, pos to pos / neg to neg will maintain 12v
