You idiots are only correct provided there is no circuit to which the
two 12v batteries in series are connected. In any yacht I've ever
been on the batteries are part of a circuit of there would be no
use to have them aboard other than as ballast.

In Nigel's case, tapping off one of two batteries connected in series in
a circuit to run his VHF will not cause only the tapped battery to discharge
as the voltage in the circuit will be lowered and not just the voltage
in the tapped battery.

Only if the two batteries were disconnected from the circuit would
the tapped battery discharge more than the untapped battery.

C'mon, folks, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure something
this basic out.

Like I stated before, if you paid any money for your electrical
education, you certainly should go back and ask for a refund,
because you didn't learn anything in DC Class......

Sorry, I'm an expert yacht electrician and I used to teach 12v electrical
circuits at one time. I know of which I speak.

Are you trying to claim that a battery in certain state of discharge cannot
be charged by a battery that is fully charged if the batteries are connected
in a circuit?

Hmm..

...this little spat looks as though the 'great' are taking on the
'good'..

.. to the consternation of those - like me - who would appreciate a
definitive answer..

Any chance of MOBbing in an expert? This thread ain't gonna go away, is
it..?

Would you like to 'de-cloak' from your anonymous header? Or are you yet
another pontificating troll?

The only thing Capt. Neal has on his boat is a lot of "Magic smoke"
that escaped his DC electrical Panel......


White smoke presumably?

He thinks he's the best thing since Gono signal

I hope this simple example will reduce your fogged thinking.

and the Dufus chimes in again, with more off the wall BS.....

Why not refute my example instead of calling me names.?

I thought you were a pretty good troll, Cap'n..

Neither!

I'm talking about two 12v batteries in a series circuit meaning one positive pole connected
to the negative pole of the other battery. The left over positive and negative poles must be
connected to some sort of circuit and load such as a light bulb or electronic gadget that will
cause current to flow through the entire circuit.
