4 batteries to 6v battery pack?

d_gizzle · Dec 6, 2013

I have a wireless light system that works great.........except that if I hit to hard of a bump,the batteries(especially in the rear!) tend to disconnect.

So my idea to fix this is to hardwire a 6v battery(power wheel style?) to both the front and rear.

Will it work? I've looked it up as best I can and it seems like it would,but would I need 2 batteries?

Any help is appreciated,I really have no clue what I'm doing.

You don't need two batteries. Just wire both front and rear lights to the same one.
Without seeing exactly what you have it's hard to draw you a diagram but you'd just need to run wires from the battery to the lights and connect them where your current batteries make contact. You'll just need to make sure you get the right contact points to provide the light with battery power.
A photo of your original batteries installed would help us tell you exactly where to connect to.

Thank you very much sir,that's what I needed to know.

As for the connections,positive-positive;negative-negative,right? I will post pics when I get the battery,before I connect anything. Just to be safe.

Here's a pic of the batteries installed. The battery loop is on the left of both lights,the split on the right.
