Parallel Connections – These connections are used when you want to increase the amperage of your battery bank. Most commonly, parallel-only connections are found in 12V systems.
The connections on this type of battery bank go from positive to positive and negative to negative. Connecting this way will double your amps (see diagram left).
Series Connections – This type of connection is used when you need to increase the voltage of your battery bank. These types of battery connections are found in all types of battery banks including 12V, 24V, and 48V systems.
For instance, making a connection to the positive and negative terminals in this orientation is different than a parallel connection. Doing so links the batteries together increases the voltage of the battery bank (see diagram right).
*If you plan to wire your batteries in series, please let us know when you place your order so we can make sure to match your capacity.
