To increase capacity and voltage, connect the batteries in series parallel
as shown in Figure 2.
EXAMPLE:
Battery Voltage = 6V each
Battery Capacity = 400 AH each
System Voltage = 12V
System Capacity = 800 AH
EXAMPLE:
Twenty-four (24) 2 Volt models at 2430 AH each = 2430 AH at 48 Volts
EXAMPLE:
Two (2) strings of eight (8) 6 Volt 428 AH each = 2 x 428 AH at 48 Volts = 856 AH
at 48 Volts
EXAMPLE:
Three (3) strings of four (4) Batteries at 357 AH each = 3 x 357 AH at 48 Volts =
1071 AH at 48 Volts

NOTE: We do not recommend more than three (3) series strings. Multiple parallel connections
will often create uneven resistance between strings, causing an imbalance of charging and
discharge currents, resulting in possible cell damage or premature failure.
