FAQS 4

How many batteries are in a series connection?

In each of the examples, the 4 batteries are identified as A, B, C, and D. Example 1, shown in Figure 4, has 2 pairs of series connected batteries joined in a single parallel connection. In this type of arrangement, we refer to each pair of series connected batteries as a "string". Batteries A and C are in series. Batteries B and D are in series.

Can a battery be connected in series?

When connecting batteries in series: Never cross the remaining open positive and negative terminals with each other, as this will short-circuit the batteries and cause damage or injury. The other type of connection is parallel. Parallel connections will increase your capacity rating, but the voltage will stay the same.

Are batteries a and C in series?

Batteries A and C are in series. Batteries B and D are in series. The string A and C is in parallel with the string B and D. Notice that the total battery pack voltage is 24 volts and that the total battery pack capacity is 40 amp-hours. Example 2, shown in Figure 5, has 2 pairs of parallel-connected batteries joined in a single series connection.

Can you connect different rated batteries in series?

This is why the short answer to connecting differently rated batteries in series is “Don’t”. When connecting batteries in series, the general advice is to use batteries of the same ratings and the same make and model in order to minimize differences in exact voltage and amperage.
