Charging rate

[Handsome Transom]

So I wired my dear panels together after the individual controllers and checked voltage output . I am getting 16 volts I have not checked the amperage yet because I need a fuse for my meter and want to know what amperage I am getting before connecting to my batteries. I am concerned about the 16 volts . Is that voltage apt to damage my batteries. Also when my battery switch is set to 1 and 2 will the solar charger connected to my house bank charge my cranking battery ?

16 is a bit high , a wire wound resistor can be used to lower the voltage

only if your cranking battery is connected to the house side
battery switch is set to 1 and 2, do you mean"Both" ?

Yes I mean both my switch has 4 positions 1,2,off, and 1and2.
