To increase capacity, connect the batteries in parallel as shown in Figure 2.
EXAMPLE:
Battery Voltage = 6V each
Battery Capacity = 400 AH each
System Voltage = 6V
System Capacity = 800 AH
To increase capacity and voltage, connect the batteries in series parallel as shown in Figure 3.
EXAMPLE:
Battery Voltage = 6V each
Battery Capacity = 400 AH each
System Voltage = 12V
System Capacity = 800 AH
EXAMPLE:
twenty four (24) 2 Volt 2YS31P models at 2430 AH each = 2430AH at 48 Volts
EXAMPLE:
two (2) strings of eight (8) 6 Volt S-530 models at 400 AH each = 2 x 400 AH at 48
Volts = 800 AH at 48 Volts
EXAMPLE:
three (3) strings of four (4) 12 Volt 12CS11P models 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
connection create unequal string resistances, resulting in possible cell damage or failure.
