Remember, electricity flows through parallel or series connections as if it were a single battery. It can't tell the difference. Therefore, you can parallel two sets of batteries that are in series to create a series-parallel setup. First, we recommend putting each set in series first.
Now this battery pack hack is modified to use series parallel. (you will notice I cut off one of the battery holders, turning the 4pack into a 3 pack) If you have a good understanding of parallel and series then you can probably figure out what both combined does. If not I shall explain!
To wire multiple batteries in parallel, connect the negative terminal (-) of one battery to the negative terminal (-) of another, and do the same to the positive terminals (+). For example, you can connect four Renogy 12V 200Ah Core Series LiFePO4 Batteries in parallel. In this system, the system voltage and current are calculated as follows:
For example, you can combine two pairs of batteries by connecting them in series, and then connect these series-connected pairs in parallel. This arrangement is referred to as a series-parallel connection of batteries. In this system,
So the batteries used in parallel would be setup with all the positive terminals and negative terminals connected. I know this can be confusing thats why I included a few pictures to show you what series and parallel look like (see next step for a look at the pics).
Parallel connection attains higher capacity by adding up the total ampere-hour (Ah). Some packs may consist of a combination of series and parallel connections. Laptop batteries commonly have four 3.6V Li-ion cells in series to achieve a nominal voltage 14.4V and two in parallel to boost the capacity from 2,400mAh to 4,800mAh.
