#BlueSeaSystems

Since creating this series we’ve learned a lot about the use of the word tribe and we fully respect the cultural significance attached to it and have decided not to use it in our channel name going forward! Much love y’all!
Super quick video on how to wire 6 volt batteries in series and parallel along with the Blue Sea System Switch 5511e and Blue Sea Systems ACR 7610 diagram. This was part of a larger project of replacing my former battery bank, battery charger and battery switch in my 37 ft sailboat. I will include the link to that below but wanted to put this short video out for people who want to see how to do this particular project and don't necessarily want to see the whole battery bank project and what was involved.
This is the link to the full video which includes:
Blue Sea Systems Add-A-Battery Kit 120-A with Blue Sea System Battery Switch 5511e & Blue Sea Systems ACR 7610 installation diagrams showing how to connect to four 6 Volt golf cart style batteries, (connected in series and parallel), one group 31 start battery, a Marinco ChargePro Dual 10 Amp charger, and several other Blue Sea Systems products, wire, connectors and more to get the job done. As stated, the Blue Sea System Add-A-Battery Kit includes the Blue Sea Systems e-Series Dual Circuit Plus Switch (5511e) as well as the SI-ACR Automatic Charge Relay (7610). This device protects each battery bank from becoming over charged and the switch does away with the need to change positions from 1 to 2 or 1+2 or off.
The time had come to replace the batteries, switch and battery charger in our sailboat. There are thousands of different opinions about why it is amazing or why it sucks! I liked the idea so I went with it.
The problem I ran into, however, is that every diagram, tutorial, video, book, or person that I went to seeking advice wasn't able to provide the whole story for my specific set-up... So that's why I built this video and the diagrams outlining the configurations I used to set up my system. Be warned! It is recommended that you consult with a professional marine electrician before performing any tasks contained in this video to ensure proper wiring, to prevent damage, injury or death!
If you happen to see anything in this video that you think should be done differently, please let me know in the comments section!
One thing I should mention is that many people may recommend a higher output Battery Charger than the 10 Amps that I chose. I got a deal I could not refuse and the charger is much quieter than my previous one and has been serving our needs well.

Yo Tribe! Here's a short and informative little clip I made that outlines a portion of my battery bank rebuild. There's a link at the end that will take you to the full project, outlining how I wired in the Blue Sea Systems Switch and the Blue Sea System ACR as well as the full diagram including the battery charger, alternator, electric panel and more. Hope this helps!

Doesn't that make it 24 volt at 225 amps. Volts go up but amp stay the same right
