House battery hook up

[Janijack]

We have a 2004 Allegro Bay and my husband removed the 2 6volt batteries without taking a picture of how to reconnect them. Can anyone give me a diagram on how to reconnect them

Welcome! Take a photo of all the wires in that area and post it here and I am sure we will figure it out.

If possible, after you put it back together use two of these thingies. I make sure I only have one red and one black wire at my house batteries. All others go to those above thingies. I have had such issues myself as I often add stuff and forget what it was when I replace the batteries. So I now only have two wires at the battery, as I did here, on the battery I added to my newer RV.

What if there are 3 wires coming from the coach?

You should send a picture of exactly what you have and one of the smarter seasoned guys will help you

We have 3 ground wires. I hope the picture is good

Put the RED on POS of one battery, the 2 blacks on the NEG of other battery and the one with 2 ends between the remaining terms one of them should be NEG other POS

I'd prefer to not guess. I believe RNS is correct though, but I personally would like to double check with a meter.

I would believe two positive cables and one negative before I'd think there'd be 2 grounds. Can't go by terminal color with absolute certainty so they should be electrically or physically traced to their termination.

True I know mine had 2 POS. A meter would help.

Actually just went out looked I have 3 on POS
