Why aren't more UA-cam videos like this; state the purpose and then provide the stated information in a clear manner? No distractions, no music, no smart alec comments. I now have the exact information that I was looking for. Thank you.
I wanted the guy to shoot half an hour of Selfies - "In this video I'm going to be showing you how ..... ... First of all, let's talk about what a lead acid battery is and what they are used for ... ."
Excellent video and explanation. I was looking for the explanation for a series/parallel connection because I wanted to run 4 batteries to my 24v trolling motor but also wanted the additional amperage. Well done and thank you!
This... Especially the last part... Confirmed what I had in mind. Thank you. I'm not a fisherman though... I am just trying to get my Power backup system grown. Inverter takes 24v. Currently I have two 12v @ 100ah in series to give me 24v @ 100ah. Now I need to buy two other 12v @ 199ah and join their series group in parallel with the existing ones to give me 24v @ 200ah.
thank you so much B'y voice was clean and clear, no beating around the bush jus straight to it so thanks, I'm gonna save it so I can watch it a few more times so I don't hurt myself lol
Thanks for this simple and informative video. I do have a couple questions that aren't really addressed in these type of tutorials for the series-parallel configuration. Firstly, from which terminals should I connect a charge controller and/or an inverter? And second, can DC circuit breakers be used in place of fuses to protect the batteries in a LiFePO4 battery bank? If anyone can help clear this up for me I'd greatly appreciate it.
I want to build a multi channel battery voltage (and capacity if possible) monitor for the hydraulics in my 82 Monte Carlo. It will be wired for 96V and I want to have a HUD in the center console where I can glance and and see the individual and final series voltage. Do you know of existing models to accomplish that his? Such as a 8,10,12 channel BMS with a multiple input app or LED display?
1:30 That is interesting that in Series you got different voltages when measuring from different batteries, 12, 24, 36, 48. Could you use that effect to create circuits off different batteries to power devices that need different voltages without a converter? I realize that would cause the batteries to wear unevenly, but it would be a lot more reliable and efficient then using voltage converters.
@@escapetherace1943 yeah. After a further investigation I found that it will wear the batteries down unevenly. The battery with the lower voltage would probably get the most wear and that battery would die rather quickly. If in the future we ever have extremely high cycle durability batteries, it might be the way to go.
@@PopsGG it's also more efficient to use high voltage systems, less power loss so it would likely be better to run through a 12v charger coming from 48v energy going through your inverter
I am wondering about recharging the batteries when they are in the either the series or parallel " modes " do you still just connect the charger to the positive and negative of one of the batteries and it charges the all ?
Wow that's so clear. I love it. Thank you. So theoretically, connecting something to the second battery and ground you can power something 24v and with the first power something 12v? Like it's all able to be split up and devided to whatever?
On the last part(series/parallel), which would be the main positive and negative? As in, if I wanted 24v output, what positive and negative would I safely attach to?
Sir could be possible if I want to make a parallel (12 v, 100ah x2) then I series it with 12v 200ah...in other term 12v 100ah x2 + 12v 200ah...thank in advance for feedback
Hi ! Great video Thanks. I need to connect some 4 volt Li-on cells to create a 24 volt main pack but it needs to weigh between 750 & 800 grams. As they are 70 grams each 6 in series won’t be heavy enough. Can you suggest a series / parallel combination please ? Thanks ! Eddie.
Not a fisherman here 😂 but ive got a 100ah 12V 2A battery powering a desktop pc, and was wondering how hooking up battery's effects the voltage, with this videos knowledge, i know to buy another 100ah 12V batt and run it in parallel, as more than 12V will fry the psu. But a desktop pc needs more power than just 24watt, 48watt should suffice, Great tutorial, thanks alot.
These questions NEVER get answered: 1. How do you connect a charger to these types of connections? Especially P-S connections. 2. How does the P-S battery system connect to a charge controller? 3. How does the P-S battery system connected to an inverter?
You essentially have ONE negative port available, and ONE positive port available when you connect batteries in series/parallel like this. At that point, you treat it like any other battery...He is literally pointing to them @1:20 Ignore all the other terminals, those terminals are now the whole battery, positive and negative. Treat it as you would any other battery for your application.
I am connecting four 200 amp lithium batteries in series/parallel.. the batteries are 12 volt and I'm looking for a 24 volt system.. if I connect them like you demonstrated towards the end of your video how many amps would I have total?
i have 2x24v i want to make 48v how to connect positive of one to the negative of the other should do the same again positive to negative means 2 briging also ineed 48 v charger after to charge them as 48nv ?It could be so helpfuul for me to make it
Pack 1: connect 4 batteries in series. Pack 2: 4 batteries in series. Now you have two packs with 48v each. Connect pack 1 available negative contact to pack 2 available negative contact. Connect then pack 1 available positive contact to pack 2 available positive contact.
Depends on the effect you draw. Here is the formula (metric): cable thickness (mm2) = Current(A) x cable length x 0.0175 (ohm)/ voltage drop (V). Ex. You have a 2 kW motor. Current = 2000W/24v = 83,33A. Lets say 5 meter cable, assuming 4% voltage drop = 24v x 4% = 0,96v. So filling out formula, 83,33A x 5m x 0.0175 / 0,96 = 7,49 mm2. So you would need a 10 mm2 cable, or 8 AWG.
Okay let's say I hooked ten. 3.7 volt lithium ions batteries in parallel to increase ah. made for equal sets of them and then hooked them four sets together in series to effectively make 14.8v?? Would that work??
Please I need an advice! My questions is....Can it be possible to wire SIX batteries of 12V 220ah in SERIES AND PARRALLEL to give 48V 880ah for a system Inverter of 3.5kva 48V?
Kinda. So You would run 4 batteries in a series creating 48v 220ah and run them parallel with the next 4 to creating 48v 440ah. With that said, you would need 8 more running in series and parallel like the first 8 and run these two blocks of 8 batteries in parallel making a total of 16 batteries to create the power you are wanting at 48v 880ah.
The instructions received with my lithium ion 20ah 12v batteries recommend I don't do this kind of connection with 4 of the batteries. Can anyone think of why?
Question. i got hold of 57 free batteries of 6volt 4,5Ah NiMH type of batterys .. Thats a lot of batteries.. i wish to make a *giant powerbank* in parallel connection .. Is there something i have to remeber? ... do i need thicker cables then the ones that already are on the batteries? how is it when i charge that many batteries in parallell ? do i need a super charger? or just use a normal charger that will just take much longer time? I also got a hold on 43 of 4 cells NiCd batteries with a voltage of 4,8 and they have 4,5Ah -- planned to make a 2nd powerpack with those. All batteries are only 3 years old and they are fully functional.. they had to be replaced because of strict rules on batteries that feed emergency light on ship .. they get replaced every 3 years even the law say 5 years.. guess shipping company just want to make sure their ok .. they have been maintain charged trough the years they been active.. and they only sometimes get used on test of the emergency light onboard.
Because the circuit is not complete. The same way a cell's positive and negative sides are separate, the positive and negative sides of any number of cells wired in parallel are also separate. In series, the positive terminal at one end and the negative terminal at the other end of the array are not connected.
So my mobility scooter is run on a 24v sistom ie 2 12v batteries making the 24v if I was to say connect 5 batteries of 12v together keeping them as a 12v but upping my amp ? Then connected the 2 - 5x12v I'd intern be creating the 24v sistom 🤪🤔🥴 o god this is confusing
I'm telling you. You can't have it all. Maybe you'll find the right video but sound is barely audible like this one or you'll find the right video and it will be drowned out by some terrible generic rock music.

Parallel connection is more safe then series connection, if one battery dies you other batteries still operation.

If you put a meter across the terminals of a given battery in the middle of the series, you'll get 12V right?

Wow that's so clear. I love it. Thank you. So theoretically, connecting something to the second battery and ground you can power something 24v and with the first power something 12v? Like it's all able to be split up and devided to whatever?
No, both batteries will be 24v when connected in serial or serial and parallel.
Could you do the same thing for solar panels? Your expectations make more sense to me. Thanks
This is an updated remake of a video I posted 10 years ago. The old video has over 2 Million views!
On the last part(series/parallel), which would be the main positive and negative? As in, if I wanted 24v output, what positive and negative would I safely attach to?
@@scarr3ll In parallel, as he mentioned, it doesn't matter as long as one connector is connected to battery pack 1 and the other to battery pack 2.
Brilliant explanation
Thank you! I finally understand now.

i have just set up 9 pannels and just about to connect the battery the inverter but it is not connecting. what is the problem/?
What is the size of the linking cable
series parallel set up at the end. do you need a 24 volt charger to charge all battery's at once.
yes

What if you have 4 total. 3 in series and 1 in parallel with one of the 3 in series? Is that 36 and 12 volts still?
Yes. But not recommended to do it like that, since pack will be unstable.
Please could you connect 2 12v batteries with 1solar panel
Nice to see top video was 10 years ago i went to the newer one below same name same creator but 10 months ago instead
Ok I have the concept of that, then how do I hook them up to what ever motor I'm trying to power? Help please 😅

Just connect from negative to positive contacts like in the video. Yes you would need a 48v charger.
Awesome
I have 8*12V batteries
I need ro make 2* 48V series array and connect em to each other to boost e AH.
How do I do this.
Pliz help
Pack 1: connect 4 batteries in series. Pack 2: 4 batteries in series. Now you have two packs with 48v each. Connect pack 1 available negative contact to pack 2 available negative contact. Connect then pack 1 available positive contact to pack 2 available positive contact.

How would u wire to make 80w and 48v?
Thank you sir 🙏🙏🙏
Anybody know batteries for shortbus. Series or parallel? Diesel GMC startes runs but no interior light etc.
Sooo damn useful
What gauge wire should be used?
Depends on the effect you draw. Here is the formula (metric): cable thickness (mm2) = Current(A) x cable length x 0.0175 (ohm)/ voltage drop (V).
Ex. You have a 2 kW motor. Current = 2000W/24v = 83,33A. Lets say 5 meter cable, assuming 4% voltage drop = 24v x 4% = 0,96v. So filling out formula, 83,33A x 5m x 0.0175 / 0,96 = 7,49 mm2. So you would need a 10 mm2 cable, or 8 AWG.

its a shame you haven't shown where to place the pos & neg feed or where to connect the charging cables
If i put 4 unevenly charged 12v batteries. Will it chargeup to 12volts? Or do i need to charge them separately first?
the short answer is yes they will charge. fully charged batteries at rest will measure out at 12.8 volts. anything under 12.5volts is a flat battery.
Please I need an advice! My questions is....Can it be possible to wire SIX batteries of 12V 220ah in SERIES AND PARRALLEL to give 48V 880ah for a system Inverter of 3.5kva 48V?

Is it okey to parallel a batteries by mixxing an old and a new battery,
its never a good idea to mix old & new together,it will pull the new down to the old

The BMS on the lithium batteries might not support this kind of wiring setup.

It should be noted that many 24v systems run on 3 6v batteries in series
You mean 4 6v batteries I assume. 4 x 6 = 24.

Why isn't this considered as a short-circuit in any of the scenarios?
Because the circuit is not complete. The same way a cell's positive and negative sides are separate, the positive and negative sides of any number of cells wired in parallel are also separate. In series, the positive terminal at one end and the negative terminal at the other end of the array are not connected.
