connecting 4 6 volt bateries

If you're dead set on that configuration...hit the clicky below. This guy does a lot of street rod work. Email him a picture and he'll make whatever you want....he's pretty reasonable....Dennis

Clicky

Google, The 12 volt side of life, and read part1 and 2.

If you are installing 4 Six volt I'd not go with a bus bar (That is what the multi connector is called,, If you were installings six or 8, then perhaps.

Wire like this

Ground |-6V+-6V+|
. . . . . . .|-6V+-6V+|--RV

That is you connect each pair (you think of them as 2 pair) to make a 12 volt battery then parallel the two 12's using a pair of jumpers and take ground off one pair and hot off the other.

And I'd like to thank the powers that be for the PREVIEW MESSAGE function, Getting those two lines to line up would have been a witch without it.

Man, that's one long sentence, hard to follow. A comma or period every once in a while would help me understand what you're after.
Anyway, here's the way I did mine when I converted from (3) 12V Interstates to, (4) Costco 6V Deep Cycle Golf Cart batteries. It's one way of doing it, there are others.

It looks to me like either a premade bus bar or (more likely) a quite short heavy-duty jumper wire. Just get an appropriate interconnection wire and use that; there's no need to hunt down the specific one that was used in the video, though it does look like a substantial and well-built one.

Not sure what you are referring too in your comments. A picture would really help...

This is how I would hook up my 4EA 6VDC batteries.

This is a balanced way to connect the four 6VDC batteries together to get best performance results... All same inner connections must be the same length. With all the inner connections the same length then each battery will produce the same output currents when providing 12VDC and also charge at the same current when being re-charged by your converter/charger unit.



Just my thoughts

On mine I simply use a short battery cable...why try to reinvent the wheel..:h..just sayin.....Dennis

Sounds like a piece of copper buss bar.
You can buy copper bar and drill the holes to match your installation.
