When hooking two batteries in parallel ???????

Is it better to put the load off one battery, or to use positive on one and negative on the other? Or does it make any difference?

Off of one battery

Love the avatar.

Why is that, "G" ?? .... one would tend to think pulling off both batteries (+ of one & - of other), at the same time, would discharge the batteries more "equally" ... thus being less destructive to the (main) one being discharged. Otherwise, it would seem to indicate there'd be "no difference".

I would hook to what was most convenient.

your charge if just coming off of the + side not the - and when in parallel it is pulling equal off of both batteries.The current flows out of both at the same rate

Most of the time its just easier to connect to one battery..... They are going to discharge equally anyway
