Connecting multiple batteries in parallel can be done in the
following ways of which method 2 is preferred:
Method 1: Note different cable thiknesses have to be used due to
the difference in current.
IMPORTANT
: for each battery the total
cable length of the negative side needs to be the same length as
the positive side.
Method 2: Using a positive and a negative busbar to connect the
batteries to makes it easier to handle the currents. IMPORTANT:
make sure each battery has equal cable lengths between the
busbar and hte battery for both the negative and the positive
sides.
