- This video demonstrates how to wire batteries in series and in parallel. Series means connecting a negative terminal of one battery to the positive terminal of another battery to increase the Voltage . A Parallel connection on the other hand, means connecting "like" (Positive to Positive and Negative to Negative) terminals of batteries together. This does not increase the voltage, but it doubles the Amp-Rating or Runtime. The video demonstrates how to get 24 and 36 volts from a series of 12 Volt batteries.

When the title includes the video format, you know a) its old school b) it works c) the only tutorial you'll need
This video is an exceptional tutorial of how series and parallel work, with visuals! Well done!
Great simple explanation. Couldn't have been better than this. No unnecessary confusing and helpless techno- show words or expressions, Just pure practical teaching. Thank you friend. Couldn't help but subscribe.
Hi,I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner,we went camping in Maine.I plugged the fridge into a killawatt,on startup it uses .93 amp and 83 watts.The marine battery has 675 marine cranking amps,105 amps,and 182 minutes reserve capacity.On the frig the only reference to amps is 1.4 amp input current.Thank you MrDavey,this will be a great help to my family.Rob
It is good that you provided the simple, but informative way to properly connect batteries. Good job on the video.
Exactly the thing I was looking for and it was great that it was no longer than five minutes! Thank you, thank you!!!!!
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.
Great video, extremely easy to follow.
Awesome explanation, you covered it all with excellent video quality and visual tutorial.
"Thats the proper way to make a "How To" video.
Thank you
When wiring two 12volt batteries in parallel to be used in long term applications, do you recommend adding an in-line fuse between your positive jumper wires on the batteries?
simple and complete explination, thank you very much.
This helped me so much!!! Going to be adding more batteries to my van so I can power the AC better in the summer. Thank you so much!
This video has aged well! Thanks!
Any advice, with the batteries in series can I still parallel wire them into a 12v charging circuit? So I have a 12v input charge spread between the batteries and a 24/36v output etc etc (I'm working with some smaller li-ion batteries for a build and hoping to stick with a basic USB charging circuit
question : if i want ot connect a mppt battery charger ,should I connect it on the first possitive and at the end of the negative on hte last battery??
Very helpful and well explained. Thank you.
You have help me figure that out in such and easy way…. Great job thanks 👍
best video about the subject on TH-cam
Thank you very much. It helps a lot . Keep making electric vids.
Excellent video and to connect 8? A 24v increasing amperage would be the same?
Which pos/neg leads would you use for controller/inverter?
Thanks for the video. My question is? I have 4 one hundred amp hr batteries wired in parallel now. If I were then this way I’m going to end up with 24v on the parallel + an - end. I’m going to have to install a converter on my 12v lights etc correct? Thanks
how many amp hours would you get from those batteries ? would it be the sum of the amps lets say 7 amps-hours per pack so the series would be 28 ah or 7 amps with just 48v?
Thanks
Excellent tutorial!, thanks for sharing!
Best explanation I've ever heard.
Thank you for keeping it simple, great explanation. After connecting the two in series, If I wanted to use two batteries in series like you showed in the video for 24 volts, ( I'm using a 24v Trolling motor) I would connect the positive lead to the trolling motor on the 1st battery and the negative lead to the trolling motor to the second battery? Or could I just connect the + & - to the 1st battery?
Connect a jumper wire from battery1 P+ to battery2 N-
Connect your appliance to battery1 N- and battery2 P+
This will give you 2 x 12v = 24v
For a SERIES array, each terminal can only have ONE CONNECTION. If there is more than one connection per terminal, you have done something wrong.
Thanks for this video its help me for my project.
The last battery configuration, does that make 48v battery if you take positive and negative from two outer batteries?
Thanks for the demo. I've been trying to find a video for this. Is it possible to link 3-4 12v batteries together and keep the voltage at 12v so I can use a 12v automotive type AC power converter? Also is it possible to use the 24v array and use a automotive AC converter or would that overload it?
Thanks againfor the info.
Shit I have 14 batteries in parallel. With 6 100w panels.
It's been 5 years with no problems.
great vid, what would the voltage be in the last configuration with series and parallel between the positive and negative when connected . Will it stay 24v or will it be more?
approx. 24 V
cause 24V || 24V = 24 V.
will the parallel wiring only work for extending the run time through double the amps?
Hi,where do you put the +and - line to hook up the inverter (24v)for not wanting for not putting a lot of strain on the bank...
Cool can I use a 12 gauge wire on 12v 12ah battery to charge controller or should I stick with 14 gauge?
So, what kind of battery charger would I need for 3x12v agm ebike batteries? Or is there is simple safe way to hook up a common 12v auto battery charger to these three batteries?
can we parallel lifepo4 with lead acid battery? thanks for the lesson..
Thanks for this video its help me for my project
Will it be better to hook the batteries inseries or parallel cause I'm using them for a 500w ebike. Can I use two of the exact same Scooter/Motorcycle batteries with a 750w Power Inverter to power my 500w ebike ?
Without wasting the time, and to the point

Clearly outlined...love it
Nice, simple explanation of series and parallel configurations. I learned this in highschool electronics class, but forgot what the difference was and completely forgot about the amperage adding up.
Thanks for explaining it for us all. :-)

Thanks for your reply. I was able to source for 2 x 6V12Ah. It would arrive in a couple of days.
clear explanation thank you. question: I have two 12 volt car batteries but want to slowly integrate (due to cost) some 6 volt deep cells into my system and eventually phase out the 12Vs. Can I add two 6 volt batteries to my already 12s that are hooked in parallel? How?
why not?
rick d The important thing is supplying enough amperage or current to provide a steady flow of clean power to avoid spikes and low current. I would consider a power capacitor in line to regulate the voltage whether you run 12 or 24 volt systems.
good
When doing solar panels which option is better? Parallel or series?
how would you connect your controller and inverter to this configuration?
Hi Sr, can you explain one question please ,, i have a plan to use 4 12v 220ah battery, can i wire 2 power inverters one of 12v the other 24 volts using one ( desconnect switch ) to move from 12v to 24v, is it possible? thank you. NJM.
Hi
I want ask you which charge waire using for this battery charging please mention to me
Nice video, how to connecting Parallel and series together
Question: If you have a 7amp hr battery and connect it to a 48 hr amp battery (Both 12 volts) do you risk blowing the lower amp battery with to many amps going to it?...Also, if I get a 7 amp rechargeable battery and hook it to a stereo and plug it into your car cigarrette lighter (power supply) would it blow the battery?....Thanks
This was such a good video which made it so easy to understand. What if I have 2 wired batteries (24V) connected to an marine engine and I want to connect an Inverter 12v-220v?? Any ideas on how I should proceed? Right now, the inverter beeps (probably due to overloading -24v)
Thanks!
Get an 24v inverter... Or in an emergency you can disconnect one battery so you get 12v.
so you could wire up a 12 volt alternator up in parallel & still have the batteries wired up in series?
By using a mixed parellel wiring will it mess up charging the batteries. Currently I’m using a serial wiring iioioioioioioioioioffiofiofiofiofiooon my scooter which works fine but I would like to get added amps for either speed or length of ride.
HI there .. Great video :)
I am planning to get a 24 volts minn kota motor if I buy 2 of the minnkota power stations and put one 12 volt battery in each POWER CENTER ? Can I connect both the power stations together negative- of one power center to the positive + of other power center and then connect the negative and the positive terminals of each power centre to the motor to generate 24 volts to my motor WITHOUT USING ANY ADDITIONAL CIRCUIT BREAKERS ??? i BUT WILL THIS BE OK IF I CONNECT BOTH THE POWERCENTERS TOGETHER TO GENERATE 24 VOLTS?? do i have to get an additional circuit breaker ? Could you please advise ?
hi i have to replace a start motor to a crane was built in the 1940's so it has two 12v batteries connected in series and the positive is the ground/earth. how would i disconnect this battery safely to get to the start motor? any advice would be great
thanks so much for this video was having problem installing a 24volt system.after watching this video I'm ready to try again .. ... ..
Thanks, explained very clearly
exelente video saludos amigo desde tijuana mexico
then to which battery do y install my amp left, right left middle , right middle
Hi,Hope you can help.I have a 200 watt solar panel kit I want to use to power my medium size redfrigerator in my trailer.I have a harbor freight 750/1500 inverter.If I have say 9 hours of sun and 2 deepcell batteries would this setup be enough to run it?Wired in series or parallel?Thanks in advance
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?
Thanks bro !! but how can i get out put connection by this
I have a question: What will happen if I wire them in series to make 48V and at the same time wire them in parallel to a charger. So the charger is charging at 12V in parallel and the product is running in series at 48V at the same time. How would that work?
This is a great explanation thank you, but i do have one question, will you be able to charge them all at once or do u have to do it individually?
It is painful answer has not been provided for this your question, that would have been a great help for my planned 48volts 20Amh battery now.
According to my research ....the bet way to change for more than 2 is to arrange in series
@@frankfrankmusyoka8050 I've got an old 24v bus that I'm doing up ... retaining the 24v system including HUGE inverter. My solar controller is auto selective 12/24v & Im using 4 household sized solar panels & 4 truck batteries, wired in parrallel. No good using deep cycle batteries because I require the crank amperage! Truck maintains charge when rolling. Generator for emergencies only.
So I'm 240v constantly (inside) & 24v for the mechanics.
Just like charging a golf cart. All at once.
As per my knowledge you no need to charge separately ,do it all together
In the 24v where you hook the battery charger or cable to the inveter???
*Best video demo. But why dint you hooked up an amp meter to show the current as well?? It was almost a perfect video than those boring classes*
So parallel makes it last longer and series make it more power or is it vice verse
So is Parallel better for welding?? More amps righ?
What amperage charger would be correct for 4x20amp batteries
so, of 16 batteries, if I wire 4 groups of 4 in parallel and each set in series will I get more run time out of a 48v motor? I'm making an electric motorcycle, using small motorcycle batteries.
where do i connect the load and fuses if i want to use 24VDC
Nice video, very informative. Thanks.
The terminals in the video are M6 (They take a 6 mm metric bolt) They came with the batteries. The NB Terminals on your batteries require a small nut and bolt which should come with the batteries, and a ring terminal. Secure the ring terminal to your wire and thread the bolt through the holes in the NB terminal and ring. I hope that helps.

When you connected the two arrays on parallel, where would the load connections go? Which two terminals?
First and last Batteries
Yes, you can. You can do the two 12 volts in series. You do need to keep in mind the amps you are drawing and the capacity of the batteries for your application. Two batteries in series will double the voltage but will keep the same amp hour capacity.
I have 3-12 volt (36v) series 31 batteries, powering a hydraulic system in my truck. I didn't build the system, but it's not wired like you do it. Mine are negative to negative, positive to positive, with the power going to the positive on the final battery. Does it matter, and what is the difference?
Where do I connect the charge control to on the 24v parallel setup
Nice! Within four minutes I understood the basics of series and parallel. Thanks for such a well done video!
❤ That's what I am searching for. Trying to build my power bank at home.
Covered everything except where to connect to .... do you use a positive from one side and negative from the other or do use positive and negative from just one battery at the end because I was told if you do one battery at the end it will drain that one battery faster but it would’ve been nice if you showed where to connect your device to, in my case and electric motor.
Great explanation of series versus parallel it helps, thank you
I had same question. In Parallel, Pos1 to Pos 2 to inverter/motor positive. Neg2 to Neg 1 to inverter/motor negative. th-cam.com/video/C63I8VT6CHo/w-d-xo.html
Can I run 4 Six volt deep cycle batteries in Series and Parallel to achieve a 24 volt bank and double the Amps ? So in Series my 4 -6 v bats maintain the 220a/h 's an by adding Parallel this will double to 440 or 880? Thanks !
Excellent information.
How many volts does the Amp Need?
Do you have a volt meter?
I have 4 6volts in series to make 24. Can I ad 2 12s in series and keep it all at 24?
I intend to buy 6 6 volt batteries, and hook them up together to a 100 watt s panel and a power regulator , but what i do i do to connect them all to the power manager once they are are hooked up, i cant find any videos on that that are clear to me and none on how you should hook up 6 volt batteries to each other, like does it matter if they are wired to produce 12 volts vs 16 or whatever? What's the best set up? Any videos on this?
sir can you tell me what specs of battery required for electric motor with 24Volts, 350W with current ratings of 16.5 A. thanks
I have a 36v trolling motor. Can I purchase 6 12v 30AH batteries to make 36v 180AH?
Great vid!!!!
well, if i got this right ...
a lightbulb powered by 6V or 9V has the exact same runtime. right? (that's 4 or 6 batteris with each 1.5V in series)
but if i wire 2 battery packs with 6V paralel, i can double the runtime without killing the lightbulb.
right?
because i have some contraptions in mind ...
1. battery-powered light on my bycicle.
2. a usb battery pack with a pretty high capacity for my phone and usb devices
This is what i have learned:
Connecting in series : increase volts but same amperes
Connecting in Parallel : increase amperes and same volts
Correct and remember with parallel to keep wire lengths the same. If you have uneven lengths the shorter set with lower resistance takes the bulk of the work cause heat issues. Especially important on low voltage high amperage DC circuits. Very important.
Is there a way it can be all connected that I will still get my 48volts with 21Amh ?, then will that be harmless for my e-bike which should be just 48volts 20Amh ?
Thanks.💞

Instead of each battery being 12v they’d have to be 24v..
Pair of 24v batts = 48v
Add another pair, wire in parallel and then you increase amps and runtimes
in your last setup in the video you doubled the amp, but what about the Voltage please?
Is it possible to use such batteries for UPS on an electric scooter? So 12V 20 AH Battery / 4X 12 V 48 V 80 AH? The electric motor has an input power of 48V 500 W.850 W at the peak
Hi question will the amps (18) become (36 amps) in this setup. Or remain the same yust getting more running time.
Linking them in series doubles the voltage, 12, 24, 36, 48 ect. Linking parallel doubles the amps, 18, 36, 54, 72 ect. So 2 in series is 24V at 18A, Hook up 2 in parallel to that and it will be 24V at 36A. (2S2P) Series is Voltage, Parallel is Amps.
Wires are not too skinny for 24volt series please let me know what type wire I need for parallel wiring
Thanks
can you charcge them all at once with a charger?
and if so how long would that take to complete or fully charge them.
O lo
Yes you can. You just need to be sure of battery chemistry and use the proper charger for that chemistry.
where do you draw the power of and into your device when running the 24 volt in paralle? im going to possible use thi in a scooter project.
Where he takes his readings to show you the output are the points you take from to power your devices
i have a mobility scooter with two 12x12 batteries can i add two more 12x12 batteries so the power will last longer that will be four batteries total.
Can you hook up a power inverter to these batteries even if you have them in series ??
Which setup give best backup
Questions what will happen if you connected straight line to positive and negative
Ok great - so if I connect 2 arrays of 24v in parallel and then I want to connect this battery pack to a 24v motor, which positive (+) and negative (-) terminals do I use? There are 4 batteries.
Thanks
So you basically put the negative terminal on either terminal that is negative to negative and put the positive wire on the positive to positive...making a 24 volt double amh setup
Thanks
I have an agm battery. I was wondering how low I can discharge it without causing damage to the battery. When fully charged it reads 12.7 volts. Thanks again
+Darshan Patel just put a neg one end and a pos the other simples !
Very informative. I was trying to make a 36v battery to test a motor and it would not work. Thanks a lot. Now I need to figure out if my 36V charger is working.
asap responce please i have 6 batteries at 12V each 22AH can i put 3 at 36V and same 3 36V in series and then paralell them at 72V 44AH all together?
