Can you jump your 5’er with your truck?

It takes two 6v batteries wired in series to make a 12v. If you were to jump them you need to connect one cable to each battery NOT both cables to one.

My unit has two 6 volt batteries, four 6 volt batteries actually. Hopefully the solar will keep the batteries up? But great to know the truck batteries could be used if necessary.

Thanks guys

Very few if any 5er's use 6 volts. They may have 2 6 volt batteries wire in series to give 12 volts but nothing in them runs on 6 volts. you would need to jump 12 volt to 12 volt.

I wasn’t sure you could jump a 6 volt batterie with a 12 volt battery?

Hot? Running jacks?

Why not?

Not sure what you mean by jump. Do you mean can you link your truck batts to your FW to charge them - like with jumper cables? Don't most do this when you plug in the tow power cable? But yes, using cables would be the same as linking them together, just temporarily.

Yes.

Jump or recharge? Jump 5er to start generator?
