Parallel Batteries - Correct Hook Up

This illustration will better show how to connect charger sources and loads. Connect "across" the bank and it will cause the batteries to charge & discharge more evenly and uniformly.


This is the recommended diagram by every battery manufacturer I know of from Trojan, Lifeline, Deka/East Penn, Odyssey to Rolls Battery and just about everyone in-between.

this is a decent solution, but there are better ones....

If you draw a 100 amp load in this solution the two outer batteries will provide 26.7 amps
and the tow inside batteries will provide 23.2 amps
