BATTERIES IN SERIES SERIES

Check the requirement of your appliances before connecting a battery bank, as high power or capacity can damage your appliances. Use high duty cables for wiring to avoid short circuit and explosion.Ħ. The voltage and capacity of the batteries that are in connection should be same, otherwise it will lead to charging problems and shortened life of batteries.ĥ.

BATTERIES IN SERIES SERIES

Chemistry of the batteries used in a series connection should always be similar, whether it is lead -acid or lithium -ion, to avoid explosion and injury.Ĥ. Never wire the remaining positive and negative terminal of the batteries with each other, as it will short circuit the batteries and can cause damage.ģ. Polarity of batteries needs to be observed carefully and only then wiring should be done, as per above stated circuit.Ģ. Now connect your application to open positive and negative terminal using another set of cables.ġ. To wire batteries in series, the negative terminal of the first battery is connected with the positive terminal of the second battery by using jumper wire. Such connections of batteries in series for a single application is known as battery bank.

Four 12V 100AH batteries, give a total battery capacity of 100AH at 48V please see Fig. For example, two 12V 100AH batteries will give a total battery capacity 100Ahr at 24V. The most common applications of series wired batteries are consumer electronics such as Fire alarm, of 9V battery, in which six batteries of 1.5V are connected in series to produce 9V. When connected in series the battery capacity will remain the noted capacity of one battery, only the voltage will increase. For example, if two 6V ( Volt) with 10AH (Ampere-Hour) batteries are joined in series, it will produce 12 Volt power and still have the capacity of 10AH. Batteries are connected in series to add voltage, while ampere-hour remains same.
