Learn MoreWhen you connect batteries in parallel, like connecting 3 batteries in parallel, you are connecting batteries to ramp up the amp-hour capacity. The connection capacity will increase, but the voltage will not. For instance, connecting four 12-volt 100Ah batteries will provide a 12V 400Ah battery supply.
Remember, electricity flows through parallel or series connections as if it were a single battery. It can't tell the difference. Therefore, you can parallel two sets of batteries that are in series to create a series-parallel setup. First, we recommend putting each set in series first.
Series-parallel-connected batteries involve connecting more than one battery to increase both the amp-hour capacity of the battery as well as the voltage. Connecting six 6V 100Ah batteries will yield a 24V 200Ah battery system using two strings of four batteries.
Most batteries have stated limits regarding how many of them can be wired in series and parallel. For instance, with 12V LiFePO4 batteries, it's common for them to be able to handle up to 4 batteries wired in series, and up to 4-10 wired in parallel. Look in your battery's product manual or spec sheet for these limits.
Connect the positive terminal of the end battery to the application. In order to be connected in parallel be sure to check that the batteries are the same voltage. It's best to use batteries with the same capacity as well. Connect the negative terminal of the first battery to the negative terminal of the next battery.
Wiring batteries in parallel is an extremely easy way to double, triple, or otherwise increase the capacity of a lithium battery. When wiring lithium batteries in parallel, the capacity (amp hours) and the current carrying capability (amps) are added, while the voltage remains the same.
