****THIS WAS ADDED BY ACCIDENT, BUT SINCE I ADDED IT, I'LL LEAVE IT****

Connecting batteries in series does not increase the capacity of the batteries; it simply increases the overall voltage to meet your system requirements. Once your voltage requirements are met, if space allows you can double the batteries in a parallel connection- thereby doubling your battery capacity.

Series Connect
To increase voltage, connect batteries in series. This will not increase the system capacity.
Example :
Two T-105, 6V Batteries rated at 225AH Connected in Series

System Voltage: 6V + 6V = 12V
System Capacity = 225AH
To increase voltage,
connect batteries in series.

Parallel Connect
To increase capacity, connect batteries in parallel. This will not increase the system voltage.
Example :
Two T-105, 6V Batteries rated at 225AH Connected in Parallel

System Voltage: 6V
System Capacity = 225AH + 225AH = 450AH
To increase amp-hour capacity,
connect batteries in parallel.

Series/Parallel Connect
To increase both voltage and capacity, connect additional batteries in series and parallel.
Example :
Four T-105, 6V Batteries rated at 225AH Connected in Series/Parallel

System Voltage: 6V + 6V = 12V
System Capacity = 225AH + 225AH = 450AH

Well guys, the Blazer found a new home. It got to the point where i was replacing parts or fixing something on it about every week, it was just too expensive to keep.


So, it was replaced.... Meet Red Riding Hood, the second. It is a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Edition has the 4.0 and is very, very clean.


The pic is after a 2in lift, bigger tires are coming this week.

A friend of mine has a set of BF Goodrich AT on 17in wheels, I am supposed to be going up to ft wayne friday to get them. He is a flake though so I guess we will find out. If he flakes out then i'll probably still take yours.
