Question:

I have 2 deep cycle 6volt golf cart batteries in series to form 12 volts. How do I hook up my 30 watt solar panel to the batteries to charge them?

To charge your two 6 volt batteries connected in series with your solar panel, I recommend using the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D. This will give you a clear input for your solar panel and alternator as well as a clear positive output to your two 6 volt batteries.

I have included a diagram that shows how the connections should be made.
