Battery Connections

[Drazul]

FIGURED IT OUT. THANK YOU FOR ANY COMMENTS. On my Impact 359, I am converting from lead acid batteries to lithium. In their current arrangement, the batteries are not connected directly in an obvious serial or parallel manner. The wiring for one battery “disappers” behind the wall leading to the generator. However, there is a Hi-Amp 120 amp buss to which the positive wire for the other battery directly connects and to which a second wire coming back out from the “wall” also connects. The same type of connection exists for the negative wiring, but the connection is directly to the frame instead of to a buss. From what I can tell, the batteries are connected in parallel (due to the voltage reading). Are the Hi-Amp buss and the joint negative points the connection points for the batteries so that connecting a third battery to same points is appropriate (assuming the buss amperage is sufficient)?
