Parallel Battery Harness vs Parallel Switch: which one is better?

Is it better to connect two batteries using a parallel wire harness which is the direct method or a parallel switch which only allows one battery to be used at any point in time?
There is no right answer but one way is more efficient than the other. Using a parallel switch ensures that you are able to fully utilise the full power of your battery every time.

Best explanation ever.. Also already follow you on tiktok

[@brandon-fl]

Perfect, thanks!

[@matdwyer1972]

Could you use a 16s and 17s battery? I would think when fully charged the 17s would discharge on its own until it reaches the voltage of the 16s. Then both together. Am i correct? Great video!

[@whitefeatherslinger8194]

If you joined both batterys at there terminals and used 1charger to charge both then connected to your controller would u be running any batterys down or taken charge from one to another?

[@Hooahboard]

Can that switch handle regenerative breaking. There are a lot of these on the market but they all have the same thing in common, they don't support regen. Just wondering because you didn't mention it in the video. Thank you!

[@FalconpevSg]

Good question, instantaneous current forward or reverse is up to 3X the nominal current of 30A

So.. i have a mangosteen M1, 60v batteries, same kind. Can i connect the two batteries together, in order to get at longer range?

[@FalconpevSg]

what is a mangosteen? jewish mango? joking aside, yes you can connect two batteries with the same voltage together.

I have joyor s10s . Can i use it on my scooter ? Or what i need to check is is compatibility ,thanks in advance

[@raminhesham85]

Hey my friend i have a navee n65 i want add a xternal battery 48v same that voltage you think i do parallel or parallel switch?

[@Jrekt]

Can you Y two controllers into the parallel switch?

[@tobymclaren8795]

Hi I’m a bit confused. I have a Nami Klima and I want to be able to be able to have two batteries connected/plugged together but I don’t want them to be drawing current from both I just want a switch that can swap the battery that is discharging and powering the scooter. Do you sell something that does that or just something that waits for the match voltage and then discharges from both together. Thank you

[@FalconpevSg]

Yes we do it’s our manual solid state switch

[@josephdiez6529]

Hi can you connect 2 parallel swicth together to add 1 or 2 or more battery bank

[@FalconpevSg]

Yes I think you can

[@Kolors_of_lyfe]

Where can i purchase this switch ?

[@alexbabovicab]

Hello, please answer, is it dangerous for the battery to constantly charge Zero 10 x with two chargers with power 2x2A? Thanks in advance for the reply.

[@alexbabovicab]

@dariusbendasiuk5678 all time

[@alexbabovicab]

With two chargers

[@vemgm]

is there such a thing for charging too, eg 48v battery and a 36v

[@FalconpevSg]

Not possible

[@amirgunic8984]

Hi, I have 2 bicycle battery 36v 14A.How can i put in paralel? Can put in paralel discharge and charging port in.? Thanks

[@williamcopeland2617]

You will need the parallel cable like in the video. Then just plugged the parallel cable into the controllers and to each battery and you are good to go. Just make certain to fully charge both batteries before taking your bike out for a ride.

[@RideWithAnthony]

Hello how can I do this on the ninebot Max ? I got external original battery 36v but I’m not sure how to plug the data cable and charging cable

[@FalconpevSg]

We can show you how to do the connections when you purchase the switch

[@epoh8698]

Hi there . did you have to flash the software

[@FalconpevSg]

no flashing needed. Just the solid state switch is sufficient

[@epoh8698]

@@FalconpevSg Thank you very much, I wasn't game to buy a bigger battery just yet, Just bought basicly the same size and amp battery to have as the external, If that doesnt do much i will get a little bigger amp battery next time. Let you know how it goes when it all turns up. Its just a ZiaomiM365

[@vemgm]

Casn switch be used with a ninebot with 36v internal and 48v external

[@FalconpevSg]

Not with ninebot

[@JohnnyBandiniHere]

If you have same battery for internal and external, a Parallel Y Harness is good enough.

[@whitefeatherslinger8194]

This is what i have 2 of the exact same batterys i was gonna join from terminals but if a simple y harness will do thats what ill do but do u think i should just run one charger into both or charge them separately and just always check voltage??

[@JonJonChannel]

@@whitefeatherslinger8194 I run one charger through the main charging port, it charges both batteries to 75% and stops. I charge it again and the main battery goes up to 41volts and second battery goes to 39volts. I then charge it individually. I think it has to do with the BMS on both battery packs.

[@roxy_xcxc6869]

😂 how much u charge for running Brand new stock 36v 21Ah & find out what are the real Ah capacity health of an Stock Jimove MC or Ec-drive battery. Why so light, Its feel like stock 21ah seem like only 12-14Ah likely🤗 Email have..?

[@spoonsarefun]

This video is deceptive and inaccurate. Where to start... The small battery can't output the same amps as big battery, speed reduction and harder on equipment. If both batteries were plugged in together and charged to same voltage, the parallel system would produce a higher top speed/acceleration due to combined amp output and would hold higher voltage longer vs switch. Parallel batteries of different voltage should not be connected together otherwise you increase risk and put bms under strain because the input charge of batteries is likely not suited to take that sort of amp, especially if the little one is underpowered vs the big. Parallel them once both batteries are at same voltage...the end... the increased amp and capacity will allow you greater distances and also preserve the batteries much longer.

[@FalconpevSg]

Thank you for your detailed thoughts on this. You came out strong and we respect that. But it’s full of assumptions and a misunderstanding of the what we are trying to do. If one of those batteries has the right cells and BMS that can handle your motor power, one of those batteries is all that you need, you don’t need 2 or 10 of them. Secondly our whole point is that with the switch you do not need to always ensure your batteries are charged to the same voltage. It’s a hassle. Just plug into the switch and switch take care of it. That’s the whole point.

@Falcon Pev | Pab Pmd Escooter Ebike Shop Singapore sorry was using the scooter pictured in the picture for example which is a 2wd scooter and would typically take beyond the small batteries nominal output, motors and electronics should be matched to the ride as a setup that pulls more amps vs the bms is able to produce is a hazard in itself, imo. If the only convenience of the switch is the ability to charge and use both batteries with different charges... the advantage is not that great vs the advantages provided by parallel*. (*unless used with a small 500w scooter which doesn't have much for power req and you just want easily modular add/remove range) Parallel =more amps and slower drain across the board and thus increased battery life and longevity. Charge once and match voltage... setup and forget. The Switch, a person could disconnect and connect as they please, without worrying about battery equalization... but parallel would give more speed/acceleration as you'd have the combined output amps of both battery which would hold you in higher voltage longer, with the inconvenience of matching voltages before using or leaving in place. The hassle of connecting together isn't that great for casual use and is none existant for anyone planning on plugging in and using both at the same time. But you should be able to agree on the fact parallel will make the batteries health last longer as it would be a slower drain across the board vs the switch. On final note...you could also reduce charge time with parallel as a fast charger like 4amp or 5amp would be much better suited to charging both batteries vs a fast charger doing one at a time via switch... using a fast charger sparingly is recommended for single 52v 20ah battery, but could be used more frequently in a setup with a 52v 20ah and 52v 10ah second battery in parallel due to the increased charge rate capacity of parallel.
