Calculationįiguring out how much power you need is helpful when figuring out how to connect your batteries, and which ones to use.

Power is measured in watts, and denoted as a capital P when we work though the equation. Increasing either the current or voltage will get you more power. Examples include lights that come on as current rushes into the filament, or a TV showing the picture as it rolls through its circuit boards, and so on. The result of the voltage pushing the current is the power. This is because that number isn’t representing the size of the wire, but the amount of resistance the wire is giving the current. You may have noticed that the smaller a wire is, the higher the number of “gauge” it is. The size of the wire is usually where you’ll find the most resistance. Things such as damaged wires can slow the current much in the same way. A kink or clog in a hose doesn’t change the pressure at the faucet, but it does slow the amount of water coming through the end of it. Some things can disrupt current in the same way things can disrupt water flow. Keep that in mind as well for the next section. When calculating current it is always represented as an uppercase I. You will often times see things refer to amps, and this is the measurement of the current.

Referring back to the hose, where the voltage is the faucet and how high it’s turned up, the water moving through the hose is the current. Remember that the voltage is what is pushing it, so the current is the actual movement of it. The current that comes from the battery is the flow of the electrons. You will need to remember this for later as we discuss how the RV system works and how to connect the batteries to get the best set up. When calculating voltage, it is always represented by a capital V. You then get more water at a faster rate. If you turn it on all the way, the water is forcefully pushed to the end of the hose. When you turn it on only a little, the water is only pushed lightly to the end of the hose. The higher the voltage in the battery, the stronger that push is. The plates inside the battery push electrons from one side to the other. The voltage is the force by which the electricity is moved.

A 6V battery has 3 cells, making a total of 6 volts, and a 12V battery has 6 cells, making a total of 12 volts! In order to really understand how this comes into play, you have to understand voltage and what it does. Each cell in a deep-cycle battery can produce about 2 volts.

A battery is full of cells with chemicals that transfer ions back and forth to create electricity.
