| I have a WD 4 diesel with two 6 volt batteries and I'm not sure they are hooked correct. Need some help on this. Thanks |

If you want to have 6 volts with DOUBLE the CURRENT, then you connect the two POSITIVE terminals together and ground them.. You connect the two NEGATIVE terminals together and run that to the starter.. ( 6 volt positive ground system). ( parallel connection) If the batteries were connected to form 12 volts ( negative ground system)... then you GROUND one negative terminal on battery #1... you run the POSITIVE terminal of #1 to the NEGATIVE terminal on #2 battery.... you run the POSITIVE terminal on battery #2 to the starter.. (series connection)  ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| Yes, positive ground and 12 volts. The D17 Diesel is that way too, two 6 volt batteries in series with positive ground. |
