Wiring Batteries in Parallel

(Total Battery Capacity = 200 Ah)
B-12
Wiring the batteries in a parallel configuration increases the current of the
battery string. This is commonly used in 12-volt configurations. The voltage of
the battery bank remains the same as an individual battery. Parallel
configurations extend the run times of the AC loads by providing increased
current for the inverter to draw from. In a parallel configuration, all of the
negative battery terminals are connected together and all of the positive battery
terminals are connected together.
