Technical FAQs 4

What is a series parallel battery connection?

Series-parallel. That's not wiring your batteries in both series and parallel. That would short your battery system! A series-parallel connection is when you wire several batteries in series. Then, you create a parallel connection to another set of batteries in series. By doing this, you can increase both voltage and capacity.

Is a series battery better than a parallel battery?

The practical choice between series vs. parallel battery setups entirely depends on the voltage and Amp-hour capacity your system needs. If your system needs a higher voltage to say after switching from 12V, you will need 24V or 48V, then a series setup is the best.

Can you connect a battery in parallel?

Connecting batteries in series increases the voltage (V), while connecting them in parallel increases the capacity (amp-hours, Ah). The total power (measured in watt-hours, Wh) available from the batteries remains the same in both configurations; it’s the delivery—voltage and current—that differs. Can you wire different batteries in parallel?

Can you wire batteries in series and parallel?

You cannot simultaneously wire individual batteries in series and parallel without shorting the system. However, you can wire batteries in series and connect the sets in parallel to form a larger battery bank with a higher voltage. The photo below shows a portion of a very large battery bank.
