Retired, welcome to the forum! Always glad to see a fellow Texan join the board-I'm guessing you mean a 24V motor. Or maybe a 12/24V, which means it will run on both 12 or 24V. If only one battery is hooked up it is running on 12V. You can hook up 2 batteries to a 12V motor by hooking the + to + and - to - on each battery and then hooked up to the TM. For a TM to run on 24V you have to hook up both batteries in series.

Hey Rebbasser
yep, my TM is 24 volt so I guess I'd better get the 2 batteries hooked up together.
Thanks
