Test pos. from one battery to neg. on the other battery. If they are charged, you should have 25.5 to 26 volts. If you have 24 or less volts, they are discharged.

If they are wired in series and both batteries are good, there will be 24 volts.
Between the positive pole of battery one and the negative pole of battery 2 (with a jumper of course from negative of 1 to positive of 2) you should read 24 volts.

when you wired the 2 batteries together you put a negative and
positive terminal together, that leaves a loose positive and negative left. there is your 24 volts if the batteries are good.

seperate both batteries and test them seperate, one weak battery can affect the outcome of the test. check your cold cranking amperage on the battery, and test accordingly.

The combined output should be a little less than 24, about 23v.
