OUTSTANDING VIDEO! Very well done. I had a basic, shaky grasp prior to your video, and now I feel very confident with my understanding of the information. Thanks again, you’re an excellent teacher...

[@jeremiahwoodhull6122]

Thank you. I found this short video you made very useful and it helped me with my studies. Once again thank you.

[@dham99]

Very clear and simple explanation. One thing for people to keep in mind trying to increase voltage, anything connected to this system when doubling/tripling/etc, be sure the components connected are capable of handling the increase. Example: a lot of people running Power Wheels or similar Ride-on vehicles for kids...they'll drop an 18v tool battery or run a series of 12v7ah batteries like in this video, and they'll fry all the components either immediately or within days of use. Motors, ESCs, audio/lighting, etc are all set up for 12v WILL FRY and catch fire if you run even 16+V to them.

[@theradicalreformer2894]

Thanks buddy. This is the best explanation of battery wiring that I've seen on KZbin.

[@grinattack69]

Thank you. Best video and easy to follow. Just what I was looking for.

[@BrassicGamer]

Great, simple, clear video. I was thinking that, while you were showing the voltage increase between two batteries compared to one, that using the term 'potential difference' instead of voltage would make a lot of sense because you can physically see that the potential has doubled when they are wired in series. I don't want to suggest there's a direct relationship between physical size and potential difference, but the additional terminology can be useful.

[@oladapoaloba]

Thanks for a well explained tutorial. Excellent work👍

[@0003rc]

Thx men, really appreciate the video. helped me setting up my setup.

[@KadwaSach369]

i need to connect 2 batteries in series with my ups desktop. how to🤔

[@ibrahimmohammed5088]

Very educative and explicit! Can invert-er be connected the way you said electrical equipment should be connected in the parallel connection?

[@martinromancruz2337]

exellent video

[@newjx]

Hi thank you very much for this video. I want to ask you.. I have 16 x 12v, 200ah and I need 2 sets of 8 x 12 to get 96v 200ah then put them in parallel to get 96v, 400ah. I understood that for the load you need to put them to each end. How about the charge controller? Should I connect it at the same end?

[@capellanluismartinez2746]

Great but if I have to connect an 1500w inverter, I have to use the other 2 terminal opposite to the connection you show in the video??

[@bazookzplayz4869]

Thanks mate, great vid.

[@RoyHess666]

Can you answer me if I can mix different Ah ratings together? *Background* is: I have an EATON UPS with three 12V batteries in series, and I have three VRLA 12V batteries with 7Ah, 7.2Ah and one with 8.5Ah (BP7-12, LCR-127R2PG, YU NPW45-12)

[@ExtremeEngineering]

thanks michael for sharing knowledge

[@tcbridges]

This is really helpful. I wish you would just do one for 36 volt for a boat trolling motor. Thank You

[@408DJGUERO]

Great video, I'm planning on getting 4 6 volt 4.5A batteries to get 24 volts and i beleive my amps should still be 4.5A, my question is a laptop connector (18.5V 3.5A) Work for charging them?

[@alfonsopalma6224]

Hi I bought 2 batteries of 6 volts each, but I need to use 24 volts for my project. My question is: can I add a 12 volts battery to reach the 24 volts I need? I will really appreciate for your attention.

[@MarioGarcia-ih4wh]

Thank you for explaining it so understanding and simple God bless

[@sanb3586]

Hello I need help I have 3 4v (12v in total) batteries in sequence can I use 12v 1 or 2 amp charger ? Adapter charger*

[@mike16600017]

if you have 3 of these batteries hooked up like this, can they be charged this way with a 36 volt charger?

[@bubacarrkuyateh5662]

[@ronsbeerreviewstools4361]

Good informative video , thanks.

[@FLYYGOD]

ok so i have 6, 12v 7ah batteries. i would like to connect 4 batteries to create 48v and i know thats done with the series method. the other 2 batteries can be put into parallel to bring up the AH correct? so follow formula neg to positve to 4 batteries and then remaining 2 batteries neg to neg pos to pos for higher AH ? am i right? while connecting the 2 ends to create the power neg end to positive end?

[@jasoncurrie475]

I need to make a ebike battery and your video helpedmy question is how do you charge a 48 volt which is for 12 volt batteries wired in series how do you make a charger for that

[@mangreat71]

Is there any car batteries that has a higher volt amperage ? I want to know the names of the batteries thar can put out more volts so i can use my electric hair dryer for about 4hrs ?

Ok i have 6 sla batteries at 12v and 7ah i need to configure them to male 48v and 20ah or higher. How would i do that?

[@ambroseabellair5306]

You didn't mention the amp increase when you ran the two set's of 24 volt in series, the voltage remains the same, but the amperage increase's, doesn't it ?. Thanks for showing the proper load lead from one end of the battery sets to the opposite, now I know how to connect my two set's of battery's to the load.

hey can you set up 4 batteries so they all equal 12v? or does it have to be 2x24 volt setup?i would like to give my 1 battery 12v system more runtime how do you add more batteries to a 12v system so it runs longer?thanks!

[@rickbaldwin5102]

Thanks mate very good advice from Rick in bundaberg Queensland

[@BilalShahTech]

Nice information.

[@vedikaenvirotech2020]

If battery connect in series so voltage has increased, what about Ah?

[@chuckhunsucker9187]

So, you put 4 12 v 7.2 amp batteries in series to get 48 ish volts. Basically a 48 v DC battery 7.2 amp. Can you take an identical array of 12 x 4 = 48 in parrael to the above to have 48 v and 4 x the AHs?

[@HeyManKman]

So how do you charge this? Can you charge all 4 at once?

[@carolrocky9803]

I have been having trouble with trying to find the right terminal ends for connecting these types of batteries in a series what are the correct ones called so I can order them, it's for an e-bike.

[@michaelwolfe1659]

I found this video very useful but I'd like to ask one question how do you charge the series of batteries do you have to do them individually or can you go on as a series? Can someone explain this to me

[@PURGE-3000]

Michael Wolfe same as load. If you push current it will charge. I’f load takes current it will discharge. Get a standard 2-5 amp charger based on your voltage range.

[@chrisprocter7626]

excellent video thank you

[@drrobotnikmeanbeanma]

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 ?

you could have also mentioned the amount of both Voltage and Current thru those circuits.

[@jyotiranjansatpathy1123]

Thank you sir 🙏🙏🙏

[@jacksprat7087]

A better way to hook batteries in parallel. Line up all the batteries and solder all the negative connectors together with a single black wire. Then solder the negative end of a diode to each of the positive connectors. Then solder all the positive ends of the diodes together with a single red wire. This protects all the batteries from being fed by any other battery. They feed and charge independent from each other. This way is preferred as there always seems to be one battery with a bad or weak cell.

[@ke-kd8ut]

is 6 12v 12amp batteris to strong to have in series

[@CS-uc2oh]

You failed to mention what happens with the amp hours when connected as a series AND parallel.
