When checking the voltage on linked 6 volt deep cycle batteries is it important where the leads from the voltage tester are contacting the batteries? In other words, can the testing be done on one battery alone when they are linked?
If you are only intending to check the status of the one battery, then yes, you can test that battery by placing your leads on the posts of that battery. However, if your intent is to check the status of your entire battery bank you need to measure across both linked batteries.....negative lead on the post going to chassis ground and positive lead on the OTHER batterie's hot lead.
