Electric Trolling Battery Connection

[young_one]

Quick question, forgot to take notes on how things were connected last fall...

How should I connect these cables? Just want to make sure before I blow a fuse or something.

 

I have 12/24V, 8 Amps, 2 Banks on-board charger. 2 batteries and one trolling motor.

 

cables coming from charger (2 sets of positive and negative cables, and one bridge)

 

These are the cables coming from the electric trolling motor

are you sure it's 2 amps and 4 banks

[Terry]

but with little info

I am thinking it's a 24 volt motor

so the batteries go in serial

 

and if so the red/red goes on the one pos terminal...

it's yellow goes on the neg along with the black/neg wire from trolling motor

 

the single red goes on the other pos along with the red/pos wire to the trolling motor and it's yellow with the red goes on the neg

 

if it's 12 v then it's a whole different ball game

Yeah, you are right Terry!

Here you go. Don't forget your breaker(s).

Roy, it's past your bedtime but you got it right. The other fat red is for running the 2 batteries in series to make 24V
