Hey good video I got 2 batteries from outbax camping on eBay but didn't realise they note you cannot parallel charge or discharged them and if I connect them both it will damage the BMS connecting it your way was how I intended to use them but I don't really believe I can't parallel them your way do you think their information could be wrong ? Finding it hard to believe especially if I'm not using or charging more 40ah 50 ah BMS on each battery and batteries are the same
I would suggest following that battery manufacturers recommendation. Not all BMS units are the same so if they say you cannot connect these in parallel, I would not do it as it could damage the battery. Ebay and Amazon batteries are direct from China typically made by trade companies. For safety reasons, follow their guidelines. Thank you!
Thank you for the video. IM having some issues with the batteries running in parallel. Some additional questions. After I do the negative to negative and positive to positive. Currently I have the master switch. Where would the negative and positive go? Is this what you mean by source? Also I have a power steering switch that doesn't run through the master switch. How would I set these up? Lastly I have a NOCO Genius 2. How would I set these up directly to yhr batteries? I run two lithium 12.8v 100ah 31 Series.
Hello Chad, reach out to us at Sales@ampedoutdoors.com. We will need to look into your setup and see some pictures to figure out what you have going on. Thank you!
I understand what your saying as far as charging cables. My question is discharge cable to my inverter charger is only one Possitive cable. No discharge negative cable
When connecting your source or charger, does it matter which battery is "first" and which is second? If so, how is first defined? For example. I have 2 Lip04 batteries connected in parallel. One is closer to mppt solar controller and the other is closer to the inverter. On a cloudy day I want to use a battery charger. Does it matter which battery is "first"?
since you are drawing amps from 2, 60 amp batteries does the 50 amp continuous discharge go up? I wanna get one of these batteries but ill be using it with a motorguide xi3 55lb trhust if I'm not mistaken the motorguide draws 50 amps at max speed and I'm worried the battery could overheat especially in the heat of the summer. let me know becuase if continuous discharge goes up this way I could get two batteries and have 120 amps
Hello Rodrigo. In parallel, the max continuous amp draw will be 100A as it will double. On a kayak, you would never draw more than about 35A of power. The MFG rates the 50A max draw typically on a heavier boat, in strong wind and current as worse case scenario.
I have 2 60Ah Amped outdoor batteries and a noco genius 2x5A charger. when I wire batteries in parallel can I still charge each battery w/ a separate channel of the noco genius? any change in wiring needed? thanks!
Will this work with a 36 volt 60 amp batteries? Do i still need to hook up both chargers or do i only need one charger if i have the batteries in parallel? The one wiring harness for the trolling motor should do both batteries, if i have them in parallel, correct??
@@ampedoutdoors6861 I'm song this on my trolling motor pulling plugs at 2.5-3 mph, how ong do you think it will last with this 2 battery 36 volt 60 watt system with half foot waves?
Thank you sir I will be following your advice I'm hooking up two batteries 12 volt lithium iron same batteries to my 12 volt power inverter we are having rolling black outs you said that it is 12 volts you showed I appreciate if you can respond
Hello, yes these are 2 12V batteries in parallel to double your capacity. If you have any questions, you can always reach out to us for assistance. Thank you!
i have a renogy 200 ah lithium iron phosphate that is a couple of days old that's been connected to my solar panel, but i want to buy another renogy 200 ah lithium iron phosphate so i can connect those two battery in parallel. my question is if the first battery can still be connected to the second new battery even though i'ved charged it. the first battery was only used and charged for a couple of days and it's not really old
Ideally you want to connect them in parallel when they are at the same SOC. I would reach out to the MFG to get their insight as their BMS will be different than others.
Hello, we have video on how to connect batteries in series. This video shows parallel connection. You can aways reach out to us at sales@ampedoutdoors.com if you have questions.
Question: Can you use the remaining set of positive and negative terminals to separate the charging from the load carrying cables? For instance, the charging cables would remain where you have them and then the load carrying cables would move to the other two terminals. Good video. Thanks.
I have 2, 50 amp lifpro04 batteries to power my motorguide XI3. What size wire should I be using to connect my batteries in parallel? My running 8 gage wire to the motor approx 14 feet in my kayak. Thanks in advance.
Question: I have (2) 24 volt 55 ah lithium batteries, can I run them both in parallel to run an 80# Minn Kota Fortrex? Or would that setup burn out the motor? Great video and inciteful!
Hello. could I take 3.7 volt LI batteries and say make a set of 10 of them wired in parallel to increase amp hours. Then make 4 equal sets of those ten and then hook them sets in series effectively making 14.8v??? Basically can I take a bunch of parallel wired batteries and then wire them sets in series to increase voltage or would just create problems and screw up charging????
Hello Lucas, I would be careful with making your own pack if you are not comfortable and familiar with how to build the correct configuration with the appropriate Battery Management system. It can be very dangerous if not done correctly.
Thanks for the video, am looking to run this setup for my 24V trolling motor. But was curious if you can use an alternator charger like the Minkota two bank to charge this 24V Lithium (2x12V) while running?
Hello Luke. Reach out to us direct, there are a few options. Typically we do not encourage this as if you size your lithium battery correctly, you should not have to charge them on the fly.
19AH LITHIUM BATTERY (14.8V NMC) WITH CHARGER, can I connect 3 in parallel and use only one charger as in this video? If not whats the best way to set up
I've just bought three 100A wall mounted lithium battery for my solar system and they don't allow me to connect more than one cable to the negative and positive of each battery at same time, they have special connectors for each terminal so what would I have to do to connect them in parallel correctly? And also, both of my load and charger use the same cable since I use a Hybrid Inverter that charges the batteries and also feeds the load from the same pair of cables. This is the kind of battery I'm talking about: th-cam.com/video/F8bFtdQDuGg/w-d-xo.html
Parallel made simple, love it!!
What size wire did you use?
Thanks for the video! Have several of your batteries. Great batteries!!!
Thank you for your support!

Great video !! thanks for providing the information and tips
One question the source is attached in the same way as the charger?
Yes, correct. Having the same connection for both ingoing and outgoing current is idea.
Thank You for posting this video.

Hello, feel free to reach out to us Sales@ampedoutdoors.com. I am not sure what you mean by this statement. We are happy to assist you.
How could you run two of your 30ah short flat top batteries in parallel? What kind of cables would you use since there are no posts.
You would have to create custom cables using F2 spade connectors.

I have 2 60Ah Amped outdoor batteries and a noco genius 2x5A charger. when I wire batteries in parallel can I still charge each battery w/ a separate channel of the noco genius? any change in wiring needed? thanks!
Hello, yes you can still keep a bank on each battery. It will not matter if it is in parallel or series.
Will this work with a 36 volt 60 amp batteries?
Do i still need to hook up both chargers or do i only need one charger if i have the batteries in parallel?
The one wiring harness for the trolling motor should do both batteries, if i have them in parallel, correct??
Hello, yes you can hook the 36V up the same way in parallel. Only one charger is needed but you can connect two to charge twice as fast.
@ampedoutdoors6861 so do I put one charger on each battery? I shouldn't have to put the chargers on in parallel, correct?
@@jasonvenjohn4023 Yes, with the batteries in parallel and using two chargers, then put one charger on each battery.

Hello Bill, yes you can do this to help even out the charge and discharge load.
I have 2, 50 amp lifpro04 batteries to power my motorguide XI3. What size wire should I be using to connect my batteries in parallel? My running 8 gage wire to the motor approx 14 feet in my kayak. Thanks in advance.
Good morning, the 24v system will also work with 8awg.
Question: I have (2) 24 volt 55 ah lithium batteries, can I run them both in parallel to run an 80# Minn Kota Fortrex? Or would that setup burn out the motor? Great video and inciteful!
No it would not it would only double your amperage so that means instead of having a 24 volt 55 system you would have a 24 volt 110 system
I'm confused. So in parallel, you're still getting only 12 volts but doube the amperage and in a series comnection, you'll get 24v with 60ah only?
Parrallel keeps same voltage but increases capacity. Series increases voltage but keeps capacity.

Would this work for connect two 12v 30ah lithium batteries?
Yes, it will be the same for all 12V 24V and 36V batteries.
So in parallel you just need 1 bank battery to charge it? And in series you need 2 bank to charge it?
Correct.

Hello Rauser, this is not a battery type we carry. I would contact the manufacturer to get the correct wiring schematics for doing this.
