[QUOTE="Motor Mouse, post: 155772, member: 703"] Well, current will flow equally from each battery regardless of which battery you hook the load to. That is as long as the voltage drop across the jumpers you use to tie the batteries in parallel have negligible voltage drop. I suggest using 6 guage copper stranded wire and keep the length as short as possibe. + to+ and - to -. Your ampacity will be 2x your smallest battery, not totally true but close enough. Wild and Free is right on in his writing that the most important thing is that both batteries are equally good or healthy in their life cycle. Your system will only be as good as your weakest battery regardless of if that is the 24 or 27 group size. The weaker battery as it discharges will draw the good battery down. Also never mix battery types ..... lead acid goes with lead acid and so on. [/QUOTE]
