Wiring Batteries In Parallel Vs Series. Batteries Connected In Parallel. The best SLA replacement.
For example if you connect two of our 12 Volt 10 Ah batteries in series you will create one battery that has 24 Volts and 10 Amp-hours. Its been a long time since I was a Naval Electronics Technician but I seem to recall that wiring batteries in Parallel first then in Series IE wire together in parallel up to the desired amperage then wiring those groups in series up to the desired voltage produces a better balancing between the batteries and thus will greatly extend. Combining the parallel connection with series connection we will double the nominal voltage and the capacity.
For example you can connect six 6V 100Ah batteries together to give you a 24V 200Ah battery this is achieved by configuring two strings of four batteries.
Comparing the lifespan of the batteries The batteries in a parallel circuit have to produce more units of electricity than the batteries in a series circuit. Since many electric motors in kayaks bicycles and scooters run on 24 volts. The advantage of the Series setup is that your power output will become greater the more batteries that you connect. Following this example we will have two 24V 200Ah blocks wired in parallel thus forming overall a 24V 400Ah battery bank.
