    Neg to positive between 2 12v gives you 24v output ( series )
    Control your 12v by neg to neg pos to pos ( parallel) and charge neg from bat2 pos from Bat1. That gives you an equal charge across both batteries

    Sorry about your chickens, here in Texas we have to wire the bottom, top and side to our coop and run, rats, possums,raccoons and coyotes will take it all, we had to put locks on doors because raccoons are smart enough to open latches! It’s was an expense at first but our girls are safe and don’t bother neighbors!

    "Them thar varmints!", Ermine fur has been associated with royalty for centuries, symbolizing dignity, power, and moral purity. It became a luxurious choice for coronation robes and official attire in Western European courts, often used in heraldry and art to signify high status and nobility.
