Battery Configurations
2009/12/09 The battery bank must be wired to match the inverters DC input voltage specifications. In addition, the batteries can be wired to provide additional run time. The various wiring configurations are: Series Wiring batteries in series increases the total bank output voltage. This voltage MUST match the DC requirements of the inverter or inverter and/or battery damage may occur. Parallel Wiring the batteries in parallel increases the total run time the batteries can operate the AC loads. The more batteries connected in parallel the longer the loads can be powered from the inverter. Series-Parallel Series-parallel configurations increase both the battery voltage (to match the inverters DC requirements) and runtime for operating the AC loads. This voltage must match the DC requirements of the inverter. Batteries with more than two or three series strings in parallel often exhibit poor performance characteristics and shortened life.

Wiring Batteries in Series

Effect Wiring the batteries in a series configuration increases the voltage of the battery string. Six-volt batteries can be combined to form 12-volt, 24-volt or 48-volt battery banks. In the same way, 12-volt batteries connected in series form 24-volt and 48-volt battery banks. The total current capacity of the bank does not increase and remains the same amp-hour rating as it does for a single battery. Important The voltage must match the DC requirements of the inverter.

Wiring Batteries in Parallel

Effect Wiring the batteries in a parallel configuration increases the current of the battery string. 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 the negative battery terminals are connected together and all the positive battery terminals are connected together.

Wiring Batteries in Series-Parallel

Effect Wiring the batteries in a series-parallel configuration increases the current and voltage of the battery bank. Series-parallel wiring is more complicated and care should be taken when wiring these banks. Steps It is done in three steps; wiring the batteries in series, wiring them in parallel, then wiring the string to the inverter.

Series wiring
To wire in series: 1. First wire the batteries in series (voltage adds) with the positive terminal of one battery connected to the negative terminal of the next battery to meet the inverters DC input requirements (48 volts shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.) 2. Repeat this step for the next battery string. Two identical strings of batteries are now wired in series.

Figure 4 Step 1 Wiring Batteries in Series

Parallel wiring
To wire the batteries in parallel: 1. Connect the positive terminal of the first battery string to the positive terminal of the second battery string. 2. Connect the negative terminal of the first battery string to the negative terminal of the second battery string.

Figure 5 Step 2 Two series strings wiring in Parallel

Connect to inverter
To connect to the inverter: 1. Connect a cable from the positive terminal of the first battery string to the inverters positive DC terminal (via a fused device). 2. Connect the negative terminal of the last battery string to the negative terminal of inverters DC terminal.

Figure 6 Step 3 Series-Parallel Configuration Wired to the Inverter Battery Connections for Stacked Inverters When using inverters in a stacked configuration, the same battery bank must be used for both inverters. To ensure even charging of the batteries, each inverter must be connected to both strings as shown in Figure 7. In other words, for Inverter 1, connect the positive cable to String 1 and the negative cable to String 2. For Inverter 2, connect the positive cable to String 2 and the negative cable to String 1.).
