Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by capsogiga(m): 1:55pm On Mar 03, 2022 |
Good day I have 4 units 220w 12v batteries to connect to my inverter. Two technicians are here arguing as to Serie is better and vice-versa. Which is better in simple layman's explanation ? No technical stuff please as i am not an expert. thanks |

Keep batteries in parallel |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by capsogiga(m): 2:33pm On Mar 03, 2022 |
Nukilia: Why sir ? Kindly explain sir. So that I will be able to make an informed decision. The inverter is 5kva. |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by capsogiga(m): 7:30pm On Mar 03, 2022 |
Any other suggestion? |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by Nukilia: 10:58pm On Mar 03, 2022 |
capsogiga: I believe these images would be of help. Most 5kva use 24 V - 48 V. Kindly see the connection in the image

No method is better just choose the one that suits your purpose. Parallel gives you high current and same voltage while series gives you higher voltage and same current. More current, bigger wires and heat but its reliable not to fail in the middle of work. In Series, if one battery fails, everything shuts down. 1 Like |

showafrica: Thank you sir. God bless sir. Please which one increases overall amp hour capacity? Which makes battery last longer ? Which allows for deep discharge of battery ? My 4 batteries are Muiti-power 12v tubular semi-deep cycle. |

Nukilia:THANK YOU SIR. I APPRECIATE SIR. BUT THIS IS TOO TECHNICAL SIR. CAN YOU EXPLAIN IN SIMPLE ENGLISH OR BETTER STILL PLAIN YORUBA. LOL !! I SIMPLY ASKED FOR WHY YOU CHOSE PARALLEL OVER SERIES NOT CONNECTION DIAGRAM. THANK YOU SIR |

capsogiga:Check the name plate on your inverter and furnish the parameters here for proper advice 1 Like |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by showafrica(m): 10:00am On Mar 04, 2022 |
capsogiga: Like I said the purpose is the priority. If your inverter is 48v, you don't have any choice but to connect the batteries in series. |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by Penuelseun(m): 1:17pm On Mar 04, 2022 |
Your Inverter's input voltage will determine this |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by capsogiga(m): 1:34pm On Mar 04, 2022 |
greenmonk:From the panel I think inverter is 24v. Not 12v as I said earlier.

capsogiga:since your inverter is 24v, you connect 2 batteries in series and the 2 in parallel. Like this 3 Likes

Penuelseun:THANK YOU SIR. GOD BLESS YOU SIR. MAY THE GOD ALMIGHTY REWARD YOU ABUNDANTLY. But sir, why is half parallel and half series? Cant everything be parallel? 1 Like |

Awaiting response |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by Coolgent(m): 1:55pm On Mar 06, 2022 |
capsogiga:I have exact model of power star inverter W9 5kva 24v. Currently using 2 200ah deep cycle batteries. My connection is parallel. So far am enjoying it for about 1 month... Average load at night is 20 10 watts bulbs, 2 ceiling fans, 8 cctv cameras, 3 tv sets I can get 10 hrs out of the charge. NB: four panels of 310 watts has been installed today to augment the nepa charging |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by capsogiga(m): 5:01pm On Mar 06, 2022 |
Coolgent: THANK YOU SIR. SO CAN I CONNECT 4 UNITS 220ah semi deep cycle tubular batteries in parallel ? |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by Penuelseun(m): 5:17pm On Mar 06, 2022 |
capsogiga:connect it and burn your inverter, since all the advice you have been receiving here is not enough |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by capsogiga(m): 6:37pm On Mar 06, 2022 |
Penuelseun:HOW AND WHY WILL IT BURN THE INVERTER ? WHEN YOU WANT TO TALK SUPPORT IT WITH FACTS AND FIGURES !! READ ALL THE COMMENTS. NOBODY HAS ADVISED AGAINST CONNECTING ALL 4 BATTERIES IN PARALLEL. |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by obinna37(m): 6:48pm On Mar 06, 2022 |
capsogiga:your inverter is 24v it can't work in parallel |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by Penuelseun(m): 7:01pm On Mar 06, 2022 |
capsogiga:Ok |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by capsogiga(m): 7:24pm On Mar 06, 2022 |
obinna37: THANK YOU SIR. THE REASON WHY IT CAN'T WORK IN PARALLEL IS BECAUSE IT IS 24V. Much better answer. THANKS |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by Coolgent(m): 1:04am On Mar 07, 2022 |
capsogiga: I suggest you should hire a professional to do the work for you in order to avoid any eventuality |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by capsogiga(m): 6:30am On Mar 07, 2022 |
Coolgent:That is exactly my problem !! How do I know a professional. Too many quacks claiming to be pros and arguing among themselves. I reside at the far north. Not Lagos, Port Harcourt or Abuja. And everybody is scared of coming to my area due to banditry and kidnapping!!! My objective is getting as much amp hours as possible from the batteries. That is why I want full parallel configuration. But someone here on nairaland said that will blow up the 5kva, 24v inverter. Another said it wont. I dont really know who is correct. |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by Coolgent(m): 6:46am On Mar 07, 2022 |
capsogiga:Oh no, though it's not my profession but if you happen to be in northwest i can link you with a professional, alternatively youtube will assist you. |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by capsogiga(m): 8:23am On Mar 07, 2022 |
Coolgent:Pls link me sir |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by Penuelseun(m): 8:31am On Mar 07, 2022 |
capsogiga:Oga you are the one confusing yourself, I even sent you a picture to make the explanation simple, all the advice here has been pointing towards the same thing, that you can only connect all the batteries in parallel if your inverter is 12v. But because the inverter is 24v, the connection will be 2 in series and parallel. Mind you, you are not loosing any power if that is your fear 3 Likes |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by capsogiga(m): 12:52pm On Mar 07, 2022 |
Penuelseun:BEST RESPONSE SO FAR. THANK YOU SIR. BEST PART IS ' you are not loosing any power if that is your fear'. THIS IS HOW TO SPEAK TO A LAYMAN. THANK YOU OGA PENUELSEUN. YOU ARE THE BEST JARE. I SINCERELY THANK EVERYBODY FOR THERE CONTRIBUTION. REGARDS |
Re: Batteries In Series Or Parallel –which Is Better? by capsogiga(m): 1:20pm On Mar 07, 2022 |
BATTERIES INSTALLED. THANKS ALL.
