Ok bare with me because I am new to this.

I got a 12v 3.3Ah SLA and right now it is powering a single 20w MR16.

As you can see this is a pretty ghetto setup right now. I am using a RCA cable as a power cord and some crimped fittings to attach to the battery.

Right now I am not even thinking about water proofing since I will only be commuting in the dry weather.

Once I can figure out how to do it I am going to add an on/off switch and some more lights.

I just got the SLA battery tonight. On my previous commute I just used 8 double As to power the light just to see if I could do it.

What I dont understand is how I go about adding more then one light to a setup like this. Do I just solder/attach all the positive wires to the other positive wires and the same with negative and then hook them up to the battery?

any advice suggestions are welcome.
