Re: [SilverStreak] How many batteries?

["Richard Closson" <clossonmbs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have two Series 27 Deep Cycle 12V (Costco 58$)with a Perko (1,2,both,off) 
switch on my 71 Saber in Parallel. Positive connected to switch. Negatives 
tied together and to std (white?) ss trailer ground wire.Works nice if one 
battery dies or to quick disconnect.
