12v to 6v battery snafu help

Does anyone have a wire diagram of a conversion from two 12v marine batteries to 6v Lifeline batteries? Specifically wiring in the intelli-power converter/charger. Also on the 12v batteries the POS from the coach were spit between the 2 12v batteries. Can I just put them all on the end POS of the 6v battery? Should I add a larger insulated post to accommodate all the space i need?

This is for a 2007 Jayco Seneca 34ss

Thanks!

Carl

A present you have two 12 v batteries wired in parallel to the converter/charger. Like this, except in place of the trickle charger is your converter/charger.


To change to either two or four 6v batteries, wire them in series, in pairs, to the converter charger.



Photograph the present set up and label all wires before removing the batteries and connections. I'm sure there are additional wires to hook up items not controlled by a battery isolating switch or relay. Be sure to replace those connections to the proper polarity, if in doubt have someone knowledgeable in 12v wiring to help.

12V batteries wired in 'parallel'----12V with double amp hours

6V batteries wired in 'series'-------12V with same amp hours
