Hello all,
My question is I have a truck with a system of 2 batteries of 12V and I want to know if I can connect it to a tráiler connector of 7 pines of 24V for my brake system?
Can they match?

thanks in advance.

How much current is the brake system going to draw from the batteries?
 
If you connect the batteries in series to make 24 it should match. A trailer connector usually has a 12 V connection, so why do you need 24 volts?
 
thanks plazma by the answers, but I could resolve the problema.
The issue was that I had an american truck model and I had in fabrication an european/asian tráiler, so the european/asian trailer use a system of 24 volts. The solution just was change the european/asian 7 pines connector by an american 7 pin connector, where the only difference is in the voltaje.
