“Clean electrical connections are the key to everything running correctly” … Very wise words.
Crusty connections are a pretty common issue with TMs - especially with all the new tech like remote steer, pwr this and that etc.
From the jumper to the breaker, you nailed this install. Thanks for another great video
I had to learn that the hard way about clean connections! I think I may go a little overboard now! Lol Thank you for the kind words!!
My name is Keith I really appreciate the video really showed me how to understand the 24 volt system
Thanks for the straightforward explanation. Mine got crossed up somehow and hopefully these steps will clear it up, after checking the batteries out.
I'm glad it helped and thanks for watching!! Let me know if you get it cleared up!
Thanks for the video!! Simple and straightforward!!
Thank you for the kind words and thank you for watching!
Same exact 2 batteries I picked up today. Everstart 27 marine. Thanks for the video
Hey Kenya, thanks for watching! These batteries are awesome, especially for the money! They always have more than enough power, even after using them all weekend!!
Great batts at a great price. I have 3 i use w/ a 36v system going on 3 years old. They’re fished hard and show no signs of stopping
Super informative... thanks!
Just converting from 12 volts to 24 on a Mirrocraft, like your videos Thanks from Ralph in Mukwonago, Wi. keep up the great work & Good Luck.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Thank you for watching!
My name is Grady and this video helped me to wire up a 24 vote trolling motor. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
I'm so glad it helped!! Thank you for watching!
I enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for the kind words and thank you for watching!
First off very informative loved the video but when I hooked up my trolling motor I had it on the same posts as the wire I used for the 24v system and it never worked so I put the trolling motor wires on the other posts and it works perfect now
Thank you so much for the kind words and I’m glad everything worked out for you!! Thank you for watching!
Great job explaining on how to hook batteries in series with a dual bank charger 👍
Thank you!! Thanks for watching and for your support!
OK what if you have a 24v charger can you just hook that up and charge both batteries with the one charger
Great video, very helpful
Thank you!! Thanks so much for watching!!
Very informative, thanks alot sir.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! You're very welcome, and thank you for watching!
Great information!
I'm glad it was helpful!! Thanks for watching!
That was very helpful thank you
I’m glad I could help! Thank you for watching!!
Your 24v jumper wire is also important to protect the wire from any shorting out.
You should have circuit protection on every circuit at or very near the positive side battery post.
Nice vid bro I needed this
I’m glad it helped! Thank you for watching!!
Thanks very helpful!
I'm glad it helped!! Thank you for watching!
Very cool tutorial
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
@@EricGaskamp you are most welcome!
Good job thank you
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching!
Name is Dwain. Thanks for the video. I thought somebody was so stupid they hooked up the batteries backwards but it was me!😂😂😂😂😂
Watching here
Thanks for watching!!
First, Thanks for the video. Is it necessary to run the positive wire for the trolling battery on Battery 1 and the negative on 2? I run power to a plug in the bow. I have 4 gauge wire running from the battery compartments to the plug in the bow....
Tha k you for watching! Running the wires to the plug that way is how you get 24 bolts at the plug so usually that is how it is run unless the manual for the trolling motor says otherwise.
If I'm using my outboard to charge the batteries can I not just put the red wire from it to the red post on the battery where the red wire from the electric motor is attached and the same for the black in the appropriate spot
So it doesn’t matter that bank one positive of the charger is touching the negative of bank 2?
Can you show your starter battery hookup
so where did the charge wire come from? do you have a battery isolator somewhere on the boat?
Are you talking about the wire from the onboard charger?
How do you charge it? Like do you charge it on 2amp 12 volt button on the charger.
I’m really asking about charging one. For my kayak Minn kota. I just got the old town predator xl.
Im trying to figure out if im charging the same 24 volt battery right or not. I’ve used it four times and I thought I was charging it right. But the volt meter on the battery box said 11.5 however the tester on the motor said charge it. I came back in because I thought it was dead.
Thank you for watching. You can charge each battery individually with a small 12volt charger like that. Just do one battery at a time.
Where would you put the cables if you had a 2nd trolling motor on board?
Hey Rick, thanks for watching! I'm not sure I know exactly what you mean. If you can elaborate I'd be more than happy to help!
What is the Amp Hour on these battery?
I’m still learning about this whole 24 volt set up. I’ve been out twice now with my boat, the minkota runs great. But when I get home and check the batteries for recharging purposes, only one battery is discharged. Is that normal?
No, that is definitely not normal. Are both batteries the same age? Also, It sounds like its running in 12 volt mode. Older trolling motors had a switch that you would run 12v only or 24v. What trolling motor do you have? Another reason is that it could be wired improperly. Make sure both batteries are identical and they are the same age. Both batteries must be in top shape otherwise one weak one will bring the other down. I hope this helps some, and thank you for watching!
@@EricGaskamp I have a Minnkota Edge, 24 volt 70 lb thrust. My batteries are a couple monster heavy Eaton deep cells. They are hooked up as you directed, but for some reason they discharge kind of goofy.
Also, with my volt meter, shouldn’t the reading on the meter be up around 24 volts if both are adequately charged?
Question for you I was just given a trolling motor that is a 24V is it cheapoer buying two 12v batteries compared to buying a single 24v lithium? I dont know what to do with it
That is an excellent question, however I am not well versed in lithium yet. Due to cost I stick with lead acid but I have heard many good things about the single 24 volt lithium. Also another charger would be needed for the lithium if yours won't do multiple types of batteries. Sorry for the late reply and thanks for watching!
This demonstration would be wiring these in "series", correct?
Yes, that is correct!
Amazing bro
I have a question
Brother how these batteries will be charge from engine ?
Is it possible?
And the one you fix for charge
Is it ac charging unit that gives charge to the battery.
I m from Pakistan work in UAE
Thank you for watching!! These batteries charge from an on board charger which plugs into a wall outlet. I believe people have tried to make a charging system using the engine however it is not very practical. I can go a full weekend on one charge. Sometimes longer!
@@EricGaskamp thanks brother thanks
I have an old Charger and it has Red and Black and an Orange cable and a ground. I’m still so confused
24MS should be switched to a 24DC, I believe the DC will hold charge longer
So you put your chargers wires on each battery?
Yes, that is correct
Be careful when using your jumper wire, if you have a newer minn kota and hook it up like that you’ll smoke your plug in. I just about did it. Went back and read the manual for the trolling motor and it’s actually opposite.. connect positive to battery 1 and negative to battery 2 for your jumper wire
Thanks for watching and thank you for the heads up!!
so his hookup is wrong for joining the batteries together? Or do u mean just for your minn kota, I have a motorguide with no instructions so his way is probably ok for me right?
I have two sets of wires to the trolling motor plug.
Are they wires from the factory? Thank you for watching!
@@EricGaskamp no, someone wired it up.
Should have showed how to hook up accessories
I have accessories hooked up to my cranking battery. Accessories normally run off of 12v and you’ll fry them on 24v, right? So in my mind once you run 2 batteries in series, and you only hook accessories up on 1 of the 2 batteries in series, it would still pull 24v to the accessories if that makes sense? I could be wrong. I’m no expert and I hate working with electricity.

I’m not sure I understand
You need too use thicker wires on the batteries
I don’t disagree! I just used the factory wire that came with the boat. Thank you for watching!
então homem o que se passa com o mercury
It was a bad float switch. Check out the fix in this video! th-cam.com/video/MJhLsU_snm0/w-d-xo.html
I think your jumper wire is to thin and to long.
I use fine grit sand paper to clean the wire connections and u have them there post nuts way to tight
