Diagram 1 for series connections.
Example :
Two T-105, 6V Batteries rated at
225AH Connected in Series
System Voltage: 6V + 6V = 12V
System Capacity = 225AH
Diagram 2 for parallel connections.
Example :
Two T-105, 6V Batteries rated at 225AH
Connected in Parallel
System Voltage: 6V
System Capacity = 225AH + 225AH = 450AH
