In regards to the battery hook-up..... Two 12v batteries connected in parallel = 12v and the sum of the two amperages. Two 12v batteries connected in series = 24v and no add in amperage. Mathematically it is written volts X amps = watts, simple rule. More simply, if you connect the positive terminal of one battery with the negative terminal of the other, you have connected a series circuit and added the two voltages together. If you connect the batteries so that the two like terminals are connected, you will not change the voltage but you will increase your amperage. I hope that helps with understanding about connecting two batteries.
