Parallel Battery Harness

Wondering whether to connect your batteries in series or parallel to give your battery bank a little boost? If you're thinking about adding more than one battery to your house battery bank , then you've likely come across the idea of connecting batteries in series vs parallel. The way batteries are connected together can dramatically influence the performance and efficiency of the devices they power. Both configurations have unique attributes and are suited to different types of circumstances. Through this post, we will help you understand how they differ, their implications on battery performance and where each configuration is most appropriately used. This understanding can equip you to make informed decisions and optimize your devices' performance, ensuring that you truly harness the power within your batteries. Wiring batteries in series involves connecting them end-to-end, effectively boosting the overall voltage while maintaining the same capacity. Conversely, wiring batteries in parallel means connecting all positive terminals together and all negative terminals together, which increases the total capacity while keeping the voltage constant. The choice between series and parallel configurations ultimately depends on whether your power system requires a higher voltage or you want to have longer battery life , respectively. So let's get into what each type of wiring can do for your power needs.

Advanced Search Search Tips. If the batteries are connected in your diesel truck, golf cart, RV or airplane in series, you have to use a series connection to the BatteryMINder. If your batteries are disconnected or removed from your vehicle, you may use a series or a parallel connection depending on the model of the BatteryMINDer and the voltage of the batteries. The basic principal is that when connecting the batteries in parallel, you are keeping the total voltage the same. When connecting them in series, you are doubling or adding voltage.

There are two ways to wire batteries together, parallel and series. The illustration below show how these wiring variations can produce different voltage and amp hour outputs. This article deals with issues surrounding wiring in parallel i. For more information on wiring in series see Connecting batteries in series , or our article on building battery banks. The basic concept is that when connecting in parallel, you add the amp hour ratings of the batteries together, but the voltage remains the same. For example:.
