Solar Panel Question
I have not found anything that addresses this. I have my 2 6volt house batts hooked up in parallel. If I get a 100W portable Solar Panel,   how would I connect it to the batts? I am thinking single POS on one side, and single NEG on the other?

If your portable solar panel has a controller just hook the pos to pos and neg to neg.   If it, the portable solar panel, doses not have a controller then you will have to 'build' it.

Enclosed is a thread I post a spell back about building a 'lesson' solar panel built. 
Homemade Portable Solar Panel Built

ps I've been using this homemade built for four or more years.   I will do an update/review after I've added some new parts this summer.

As Keith said, they're wired in series, not parallel. That's how you get 12 volts out of two 6 volt batteries.
