Wiring Batteries in Series
Wiring the batteries in a series configuration increases the voltage of the battery string. 6 volt
batteries can be combined to form 12 V, 24 V, or 48 V battery banks. In the same way, 12 volt
batteries connected in series form 24 V or 48 V battery banks. The total current capacity of the bank
does not increase and it retains the same amp-hour rating as a single battery.
