This example illustrates how quickly your battery needs can
escalate. To reduce the required battery bank size, you can either
conserve energy by eliminating or reducing the use of some loads,
or recharge more frequently.

Battery Banks

As your power requirements increase, you may need to use more
than one battery to obtain sufficient capacity. Batteries can be
connected in parallel, in series, or in series-parallel to create
higher capacity systems.

See

Battery Cabling and Connections on page 70

for more

information about battery inter-connection schemes.

Mixing Batteries

Batteries connected in parallel should be of the same type and
amp-hour rating and from the same manufacturer.

It is not recommended to connect batteries of different types,
amp-hour ratings or manufacturers. Improper charging and
decreased battery life will result.

DANGER

EXPLOSION HAZARD

Do not mix different battery types within the same battery bank.

Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
