  • Add a battery and keep the same voltage. You can use a parallel connection to add as many batteries as you want and keep the voltage the same. I will demonstrate how in this video. Enjoy.

    simple question for the people with knowledge about the subject:
    i got 6 batteries, 12 volt and i dunno howmany amphours. In series. So roughly 72 to 80 volt or so....Gel batteries to power a scootmobiel.
    I also got 2 gel batteries in my shed, came out an older type scootmobiel.
    Is there a way to hook em up to the 6 batteries so to increase the amphours, if only for just a tiny bit?
    The electric system of this scootmobiel can not handle more than what the 6 batteries put out (in series).
    So, do i need to have 6 batteries parallel to the 6 that are already there, or can i get a bit more amphours by hooking up just 2 to the 6 that are already there?
    Muchos Graçias for the reply, if any.

      Absolutely. As long as you have a 12 volt lead acid battery charger that is charging that battery. You cannot connect to the lead acid battery directly to a lithium ion phosphate battery Bank, the charge voltages would be different.

    • @fullmoonadventureclub
      @fullmoonadventureclub  Рік тому

      You're totally fine to hook those up in parallel with that difference in voltage. However, it is recommended that you use two batteries that are near the same age and have the same amp hour capacity. Not all batteries are the same.

      They 100-amp breaker is fine as long as you only plan on pulling less than 100 amps of power. The main thing is you should match your breaker to the maximum amount of current that your wiring can handle. If your breaker is bigger than your wiring capacity and there is a short it could cause a fire.

    • @fullmoonadventureclub
      @fullmoonadventureclub  2 роки тому

      It will technically work but will probably degrade the new battery prematurely. Both batteries will not equalize or hold the same charge properly unless they are both preferably the same type, brand, voltage, and capacity. It is best to start with two new batteries when dealing with lead acid batteries in parallel.
