How many VDC batteries are in a chassis?
The chassis batteries (two 12 VDC batteries) are wired in PARALLEL. That is positive of battery #1 to positive of battery #2 to house positive. Negative of battery #1 to negative of battery #2 to house negative/ground. House batteries (4-6 VDC batteries): Each pair of 6 VDC batteries is wired in SERIES to make “a 12 VDC battery in two cases”.
How are batteries wired in a FMCA RV?
So House positive is wired to positive of battery #1. Negative of battery #1 is wired to positive of battery #2 and negative of battery #2 is wired to house negative/ground. Since you have two PAIRS of these, each PAIR is wired in parallel. There is no way we can tell you where your charging system is failing without more information.
