    Why aren't more TH-cam videos like this; state the purpose and then provide the stated information in a clear manner? No distractions, no music, no smart alec comments. I now have the exact information that I was looking for. Thank you.

    This... Especially the last part... Confirmed what I had in mind. Thank you. I'm not a fisherman though... I am just trying to get my Power backup system grown. Inverter takes 24v. Currently I have two 12v @ 100ah in series to give me 24v @ 100ah. Now I need to buy two other 12v @ 199ah and join their series group in parallel with the existing ones to give me 24v @ 200ah.

    Wow that's so clear. I love it. Thank you. So theoretically, connecting something to the second battery and ground you can power something 24v and with the first power something 12v? Like it's all able to be split up and devided to whatever?

    Thanks for this simple and informative video. I do have a couple questions that aren't really addressed in these type of tutorials for the series-parallel configuration. Firstly, from which terminals should I connect a charge controller and/or an inverter? And second, can DC circuit breakers be used in place of fuses to protect the batteries in a LiFePO4 battery bank? If anyone can help clear this up for me I'd greatly appreciate it.

    Hi ! Great video Thanks. I need to connect some 4 volt Li-on cells to create a 24 volt main pack but it needs to weigh between 750 & 800 grams. As they are 70 grams each 6 in series won’t be heavy enough. Can you suggest a series / parallel combination please ? Thanks ! Eddie.

    2. How does the P-S battery system connect to a charge controller?
    3. How does the P-S battery system connected to an inverter?

    Not a fisherman here 😂 but ive got a 100ah 12V 2A battery powering a desktop pc, and was wondering how hooking up battery's effects the voltage, with this videos knowledge, i know to buy another 100ah 12V batt and run it in parallel, as more than 12V will fry the psu. But a desktop pc needs more power than just 24watt, 48watt should suffice, Great tutorial, thanks alot.

  • @PopsGG
    @PopsGG 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    1:30 That is interesting that in Series you got different voltages when measuring from different batteries, 12, 24, 36, 48. Could you use that effect to create circuits off different batteries to power devices that need different voltages without a converter? I realize that would cause the batteries to wear unevenly, but it would be a lot more reliable and efficient then using voltage converters.

    • @PopsGG
      @PopsGG 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@escapetherace1943 yeah. After a further investigation I found that it will wear the batteries down unevenly. The battery with the lower voltage would probably get the most wear and that battery would die rather quickly. If in the future we ever have extremely high cycle durability batteries, it might be the way to go.

    • @escapetherace1943
      @escapetherace1943 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@PopsGG it's also more efficient to use high voltage systems, less power loss so it would likely be better to run through a 12v charger coming from 48v energy going through your inverter

    Please I need an advice! My questions is....Can it be possible to wire SIX batteries of 12V 220ah in SERIES AND PARRALLEL to give 48V 880ah for a system Inverter of 3.5kva 48V?

    • @tspeislive
      @tspeislive ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Kinda. So You would run 4 batteries in a series creating 48v 220ah and run them parallel with the next 4 to creating 48v 440ah. With that said, you would need 8 more running in series and parallel like the first 8 and run these two blocks of 8 batteries in parallel making a total of 16 batteries to create the power you are wanting at 48v 880ah.

    • @dboots133
      @dboots133 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      the short answer is yes they will charge. fully charged batteries at rest will measure out at 12.8 volts. anything under 12.5volts is a flat battery.

    Wait a second ! In order to increase the usage time , I mean , for running the motor longer time you need higher volt , and the same Ah . 60 volt with 12Ah gives for example 2 hours of running motor , correct !?
    For doubling the run time you would need 48 volt And 12Ah. And not the the opposite !
    Correct !? Can you please let me know what's true please !
    Higher volt gives longer motor run! U think you said the opposite ! Or!? Thank you

    Question. i got hold of 57 free batteries of 6volt 4,5Ah NiMH type of batterys .. Thats a lot of batteries.. i wish to make a *giant powerbank* in parallel connection .. Is there something i have to remeber? ... do i need thicker cables then the ones that already are on the batteries? how is it when i charge that many batteries in parallell ? do i need a super charger? or just use a normal charger that will just take much longer time?
    I also got a hold on 43 of 4 cells NiCd batteries with a voltage of 4,8 and they have 4,5Ah -- planned to make a 2nd powerpack with those. All batteries are only 3 years old and they are fully functional.. they had to be replaced because of strict rules on batteries that feed emergency light on ship .. they get replaced every 3 years even the law say 5 years.. guess shipping company just want to make sure their ok .. they have been maintain charged trough the years they been active.. and they only sometimes get used on test of the emergency light onboard.

    Why isn't this considered as a short-circuit in any of the scenarios?

    • @HighLevelPlayer
      @HighLevelPlayer หลายเดือนก่อน

      Because the circuit is not complete. The same way a cell's positive and negative sides are separate, the positive and negative sides of any number of cells wired in parallel are also separate. In series, the positive terminal at one end and the negative terminal at the other end of the array are not connected.
