If you are going to buy two batteries, connect them in parallel. Not a good idee. |

Hundreds of thousands of batteries are connected in parallel. Lots of critical energy systems have them in parallel as well as most large boats house banks. |

Thanks anybody for the inputs!
I am hesitating between a boat weighting 440 pounds and a very nice one weighting around 1000 pounds. Will a 12V 55 lb motor with two batteries (in parallel?) do the job still as fine? |

I have a 3200# boat and a MK 65# autopilot does fine. Even got me back to
the ramp last year when I ran out of gas 2 miles from the ramp. After 3 days and 100+ miles on the lake, you should look at the gas gage before the last 6 miles.

No problem - in fact the 55 may be a little over kill, but hey - MORE POWER!!! :) Good luck. Later, Tom |

Will a 12V 55 lb motor with two batteries (in parallel?) do the job still as fine? I have two 12 volt batts hooked up in parallel for my 12 volt trolling motor. Works fine, and I get lots of time on the trolling motor. I think my boat weighs a little more than yours. |

Not a good idee. Really? Why? Any mismatch is destructive, and eventually, they will mismatch. |
