Parallel/Series Connections:
Certain applications demand more voltage or more capacity than one battery’s
output. By arranging the connection configuration, one is able to increase the
output voltage, output capacity or both if needed.
To increase voltage, connect the batteries in series as shown in Figure 1.
Example:
Battery Voltage = 6V each
Battery Capacity = 400 AH each
System Voltage = 12V
System Capacity = 400 AH
To increase capacity, connect the batteries in parallel as shown in Figure 2.
Example:
Battery Voltage = 6V each
Battery Capacity = 400 AH each
System Voltage = 6V
System Capacity = 800 AH
To increase capacity and voltage, connect the batteries in series parallel as shown
in Figure 3.
Example:
Battery Voltage = 6V each
Battery Capacity = 400 AH each
System Voltage = 12V
System Capacity = 800 AH
