Learn how to arrange batteries to increase voltage or gain higher capacity. Batteries achieve the desired operating voltage by connecting several cells in series; each cell adds its voltage potential to derive at the total terminal voltage. Parallel connection attains higher capacity by adding up the total ampere-hour (Ah).
Customer ServiceBattery size is determined by considering factors such as the power demand of the system, desired battery runtime, efficiency of the battery technology, and any specific requirements or constraints of the application. It involves calculating the required energy capacity and selecting a battery with matching specifications.

Customer ServiceIn order to map the characteristics of a specific battery, the model requires the following parameters from the data sheet: The calculation of the characteristic diagram is essential for discharging. Lead-acid batteries show a characteristic with continuously decreasing voltage when discharged with constant current.
Customer ServiceFor example, Nickel-cadmium cells produce about 1.2 V each, while lead acid battery cells produce about 2 V each. Therefore, a 12-volt battery typically has six cells connected in series. The electric potential difference measured between a battery''s terminals when no load is connected is called the electromotive force (EMF) or no-load voltage.

Customer ServiceWhen designing a battery pack it is useful to make a few series and parallel calculations. Hence one of the worksheets in our Battery Calculations Workbook is exactly that. Cells that are in parallel have the positive terminals all connected together and the negative terminals all connected together.
Customer ServiceSeries connections might give you a 14.4V from 4 Li-ion cells. Or 12V from 6 lead acid cells, and even 6V from 4 alkaline cells. Cordless tools usually use 12V to 36V batteries. E-bikes can have 36V or 48V. Vehicles that are hybrid or electric need even higher voltage batteries. Their needs start from 148V to 450–500V.
Customer ServiceThe car industry wanted to increase the starter battery from 12V (14V) to 36V, better known as 42V, by placing 18 lead acid cells in series. Logistics of changing the electrical components and arcing problems on mechanical switches derailed the move.
Step 1: Collect the Total Connected Loads The first step is the determination of the total connected loads that the battery needs to supply. This is mostly particular to the battery application like UPS system or solar PV system. Step 2: Develop the Load Profile
To get the voltage of batteries in series you have to sum the voltage of each cell in the serie. To get the current in output of several batteries in parallel you have to sum the current of each branch .
Battery size is determined by considering factors such as the power demand of the system, desired battery runtime, efficiency of the battery technology, and any specific requirements or constraints of the application. It involves calculating the required energy capacity and selecting a battery with matching specifications.
Most battery chemistries lend themselves to series and parallel connection. It is important to use the same battery type with equal voltage and capacity (Ah) and never to mix different makes and sizes. A weaker cell would cause an imbalance.
The methodological analysis has the five steps as follows: Step 1: Collect the total connected loads that the battery requires to supply Step 2: Develop a load profile and further compute design energy Step 3: Choose the type of battery and determine the cell characteristics Step 4: Choose the battery cells required to be linked in series fashion
