Series & Parallel: How NOT to connect lithium battery cells in a lithium battery bank

Описание: Check out the interactive calculator: https://foxev.io/batteries/series-par...


In this video you will learn some key concepts in 5 minutes:
how NOT to add capacity!
how to decipher the notation 192S48P 96S4P 4S3P etc.
what happens if you have uneven rows in your grid
connecting batteries in series
connecting batteries in parallel
how to add capacity to an existing battery bank

If you don't understand series and parallel layouts you might order wrong batteries, destroy expensive equipment or mis-arrange lithium cells. Mis-arranging cells can cost you when undercharging cells or put capital and life at risk when overcharging and creating a fire.

Also, a Battery Management System is key to keeping your batteries safe. You must not charge them higher than 4.2V (4.15V really), and must not discharge them lower than as an absolute maximum to 3V or you damage your cells or risk a fire. I mention this at the end here, but you should watch the BMS/ Battery Management System video separately from this.

This video is about the series & parallel connections in a typical battery pack in a car or as off-grid storage near a solar installation or even for a residential home.
