This configuration (above) shows a 24 volt hook up using 12 volt group 31 batteries. Notice that in this configuration there are 4 parallel strings.
MNBE-C Battery Box Instructions (continued) This configuration (Bottom of previous page) utilizes the same 12 volt group 31 batteries, but hooked up for 48 volts. There are only 2 paralleled strings in this system. A second battery enclosure may be installed side by side or on top of each other for double the capacity.
