Parallel
To increase voltage output when using more then one battery connect the batteries in series.
Parallel or Series Connections for BatteriesTo increase current [measured in Amperes], you connect batteries in parallel. To increase voltage, you connect batteries in series.
Series.
1. ADD SOLAR PANEL COLLECTORS 2. ADD MORE STATION BATTERIES 3. REPLACE CHARGER OR ADD CHARGERS ACCORDING TO UPGRADE.
Connect two 12 volt batteries in series and you will have an output of 24 volts.
You will have a 12 Volt source with double the charge capacity.
You just connect them in Parallel. Two 12 volt batteries connected in parallel will output 12 volts. Two connected in Series will output 24 volts. Just connect the negative terminal on the first battery to the negative on the second battery. Then connect the positive terminal on first battery to the positive on the second battery. Connect the cables to the second battery, positive to positive and negative to negative. Click the link for a diagram.
depends on the voltage of the batteries.. four 12 volt car batteries would output 4x12 = 48 v
To measure amperage output to see if an alternator is charging or not .
Depends on the output of the generator
In order to connect 4-6 volt batteries and end up with 12volts you will need to understand parallel and series connections. to connect two batteries in parallel you would connect the positive side of one battery to the positive side of the other battery; and the negative side of one battery to the negative of the other battery. doing this will not change the voltage. to connect in series you connect the positive of one battery to the negative of the other battery. doing this will increase the voltage;in this example you will end up with 12v. 6+6=12. when you stack batteries in a 2-cell flashlight that is connecting the batteries in series. The answer to the question is: connect two batteries in series; then connect the other two batteries in series. after this is done connect the two pairs of batteries in parallel. If you think of it visually you would have two batteries wide and two batteries tall.
what do you mean by 5? an inverter just steps a voltage up from a lower voltage( i assume you are talking about a 12v to 240v inverter) 1:20 ratio. so with 100Ah at 12v you should get 240v at 5amps for 1 hour more batteries in parallel will increase this figure.
