2.7 - CROSS TYING BATTERIES IN PARALLEL PACKS
Inordertomaintainbalanceinparallelbatterypacks,itisbesttocrosstiethe
batteries.Thismethodofconnectionwillmaximizetheperformanceandlifeofyour
batterysystem.Cross-tyingbatteriesmeansconnectingpositivetopositivesand
negativestonegativesofeachadjacentbatteryintheset.SeeDIAGRAM 5 below for
propercrosstyingconnections.Thedottedlinesrepresentthecrosstiedcables.
Leavesomespacebetweenbatteriesforairowandminorbattery
expansion.
