What are these wires for?
I have a question about how and why my batteries are connected the way they are. I had the battery covers off, and was gonna pull the batteries out to test fit a toolbox on the a-frame but alas, it...

1. Someone miswired and those wires should be 12 volt.
2. Some RV's have LOW and HIGH 12 volt lights in the RV (non LED). So, they use a 6 volt source to power the interior lights that are connected to make the lights "DIM". You usually have a 3 position switch for the affected lights. OFF--Then up supplies 12 volts to the lights and Down supplies that 6 volts.
3. It is VERY rare to have 2- 6 volt batteries on a Towable. So, I would bet the 12 volt original batteries were replaced with 2- 6 volts and those 2 wires not connected to the proper 12 volt terminals. Doug
