Expert Reply:
Yes, wiring two 12 volt batteries in series to get 24 volts could be damaging to 12 volt accessories. Generally speaking you will want to wire your two 12 volt batteries in parallel, and wiring batteries in series is often associated with 6 volt batteries in order to produce 12 volts. For wire you can use Ring Terminals # DW05741-1 and 10 gauge # 10-1-1, which is sold by the foot, to connect your batteries.
