How to Connect Batteries in Series and Parallel

By connecting two or more batteries in either series, series-parallel, or parallel, you can increase the voltage or amp-hour capacity, or even both; allowing for higher voltage or power hungry applications.

A Guide to Sealed Lead Acid Battery Construction

The battery is made up of cells, each cell consists of plates immersed in an electrolyte of dilute sulfuric acid.

How to Charge Lead Acid Batteries

The selection of a suitable SLA battery charger and the methods used to charge it is just as important as choosing the right battery for the application.

The Complete Guide to Lithium vs Lead Acid Batteries

For the purpose of this white paper, lithium refers to Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries only, and SLA refers to lead acid/sealed lead acid batteries.

How to Charge Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFeP04) Batteries

As you will learn in this white paper, there are many similarities in the charging profiles of SLA and lithium.

What Makes Lithium Batteries Smart?

In a battery with a balancing chip, the chip simply balances the voltages of the individual cells in the battery while it is charging.
