What is the correct battery kit that connects two batteries?
Updated 05/11/2026 | Published 05/09/2026
Question:
I have an Exiss Horse Trailer with Living Quarters. It currently has one battery, but I want to add a second battery, thus need the battery cable connection kit to set up parallel wiring. I am not sure which kit to purchase. I want whatever is easiest to install. I am just a weekend warrior type of camper. Just need a recommendation. Thanks!!

That's what we aim to do for you Lori, make things easiest as possible.
The Connect-Ease Quik Dual 12V Parallel Battery Connector # CE86RR is simple and easy to setup. This connector will increase your overall battery capacity by adding a second 12V battery to your setup. By wiring in parallel, it will keep your system at 12V while giving you longer runtime for lights, water pump, fridge controls, etc.
Key points to remember:
Use two matching 12V batteries if possible
Connect positive-to-positive and negative-to-negative
Secure the second battery properly in a tray or box
Are you mostly plugged in or running off battery when you camp?

Great. I just purchased a solar battery charger. I am assuming it will trickle into both batteries. Is that correct?
