Technical FAQs 4

Is it normal to charge lead-acid batteries in parallel?

It is normal to charge lead-acid batteries in series. As they are used, the cell voltages will change, which is why they are not charged in parallel. If they were charged in parallel, the one with the high voltage wouldn't get much current, and the one with the low voltage would get too much current.

How do I charge a battery in series?

When connecting or charging batteries in series your goal is to increase the output of your batteries nominal voltage rating. To do this you need to connect the POS (+) terminal of the first battery to the NEG (-) terminal of the second battery.

Can a battery be connected in series?

When connecting batteries in series: Never cross the remaining open positive and negative terminals with each other, as this will short-circuit the batteries and cause damage or injury. The other type of connection is parallel. Parallel connections will increase your capacity rating, but the voltage will stay the same.

Do you need an inverter to charge a battery?

Initial Conversion: Since batteries store DC, an inverter is needed to convert it to AC for charging or other uses. Reverse Conversion for Charging: In sites like vehicles or remote setups, AC can be converted back to DC through a rectifier or battery charger to charge the battery.
