Because there are possibilities that different size batteries have slight voltage difference even though they are labelled as similar voltage on the label. Connect them in parallel to increase backup or buy larger batteries instead.Ĥ- Why is connecting different capacity batteries in parallel to each other is not recommended for the long term use?īatteries with different capacity but same voltage can be connected in parallel but it is preferable not to do this. But you can not keep connecting batteries in series if a power device is designed to accept specific voltage. The backup provided by the system will be increased. As I mentioned above, it’s like now you have two or more reservoirs to store charge instead of one. According to the common sense, overall charge storage capacity is also increased because there are more reservoirs available now to store charge.ģ- Does connecting batteries in series or parallel increase capacity and backup?
But charge storage capacity is increased.ġ- Why batteries are connected in parallel?Ĭonnecting batteries in parallel keeps the voltage of whole pack same but multiplies the storage capacity and energy in Ampere hour (Ah) and Watt hour (Wh).Ģ- Why batteries are connected in series?Ĭonnecting batteries in series multiplies the voltage but keeps the capacity in Ampere hour (Ah) same. Therefore, the overall output voltage of series packs remains the same. In series-parallel batteries combination, one pack of batteries connected in series is joined in parallel with another pack of batteries connected in series. (Criteria: If batteries are labeled as similar voltage but different capacity)īatteries In Series And Parallel Combination See the diagram for more idea:ĭifferent Size Batteries in Parallel or Series Connections See the diagram below for more idea:īatteries in Series Connection (Series Battery Pack)īatteries are connected from terminal to terminal in a way that positive (+) terminal of one battery is connected with negative (-) terminal of other battery and negative terminal (-) of one battery is connected with positive terminal (+) of other battery. In this type of battery bank, batteries are connected from terminals to same terminals of other batteries that is positive terminal (+) of one battery is connected with positive (+) terminal of other battery and negative terminal (-) of one battery with negative terminal (-) of other battery. Note that Battery pack is also called as battery bank and AGM and gel batteries are also known as maintenance free or dry batteries in some regions.īatteries in Parallel Connection (Parallel Battery Pack)
Additionally, I have also discussed some frequently asked questions related to the subject in FAQs section below. This guide is quite helpful for newbie users who want to learn how to connect lead acid batteries (Sealed, VRLA, MF, Gel, AGM, Wet or flooded) together while circuiting them with solar power systems, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, power inverters or battery chargers. Here, I have elaborately explained how to make Parallel, Series and Series-Parallel combined battery packs (battery banks).
