TYPICAL BATTERY CONNECTIONS

 

9.1. Series Connection of Batteries

9.2. Parallel Connection of Batteries

Fig. 9.1. Series Connection

When two or more batteries are connected in series, their voltages add up but their AH capacity remains the 

same. Fig. 9.1. above shows 2 pieces of 6 V, 200 AH batteries connected in series to form a battery bank of 12 

V with a capacity of 200 AH. The Positive terminal of Battery 1 becomes the Positive terminal of the 12 V bank. 

The negative terminal of Battery 1 is connected to the Positive terminal of Battery 2. The negative terminal of 

Battery 2 becomes the negative terminal of the 12 V battery bank.

When two or more batteries are connected in parallel, their voltage remains the same but their AH capacities 

add up. Fig. 9.2. shows 4 pieces of 12 V, 100 AH batteries connected in parallel to form a battery bank of 

12 V with a capacity of 400 AH. The four Positive terminals of Batteries 1 to 4 are paralleled (connected 

together) and this common Positive connection becomes the Positive terminal of the 12 V bank. Similarly, the 

four Negative terminals of Batteries 1 to 4 are paralleled (connected together) and this common Negative 

connection becomes the Negative terminal of the 12 V battery bank.
