Is there a max number of 12 volt batteries that can be connected? For example, could I connect 3 or 4 batteries in parallel?
The only thing I will say about six volt in this thread is this:
There are no six volt batteries in RV's.. Only 12 volt batteries split into two halves for ease of handling. (Yes each half is six but. Well think 4D and you have it)
Now to the O/P's question.. Is there a limit?
There are indeed limits but not electrical/electronic.
There is a limit as to how much WEIGHT your RV can carry. For eample I only ahve about 1,000 pounds of cargo carry capacity so when I add up all the "Junque" clothing, food, cleaning supplies and such, subtract from 1,000 I can add that many pounds of LEAD (er, batteries)
There is a practical limit.. Eventually you run out of places to put 'em.
And those are your limits...
