3.2 Parallel Connection of NAVY Batteries
Connecting two or more sets of batteries in parallel can greatly extend the
duration time. The parallel strategy supports connecting up to eight NAVY
Batteries simultaneously in parallel. Remember to connect the communica-
tion cable(s) to every NAVY Batteries in parallel connection by referring to
Figure 3-2.
Never mix up the positive terminals with negative terminals.
Before installation, make sure the battery switch and the main switch of
power cable are both off.
Make sure the NAVY Batteries are of the same condition associated
with discharging cycles, aging, etc.
Performance may reduce in case
NAVY Batteries of different conditions are connected in parallel.
Figure 3-2
If communication between two NAVY Batteries disconnects,
the outboard motor only gets 3000W output from one battery since com-
munication to the other battery is lost.
If battery charge levels of the NAVY Batteries connected in parallel vary
too much, it’s suggested to get the batteries fully charged rst.
