Technical FAQs 4

What is the difference between a series and a parallel battery?

When batteries are connected in series, the voltage increases. When batteries are connected in parallel, the capacity increases. When batteries are connected in series/parallel, both the voltage and the capacity increase. Single battery. Two batteries in series. Two batteries in parallel. Four batteries in series/parallel. Four batteries in series.

What types of batteries can be connected in parallel?

Flow batteries and other chemistries. These are commonly available in 48V. Multiple batteries can connect in parallel without any issues. Each battery has its own battery management system. Together they will generate a total state of charge value for the whole battery bank. A GX monitoring device is needed in the system.

What is the difference between LiFePO4 and lead-acid batteries?

LiFePO4 tolerates series and parallel setups with minimal voltage sag, while lead-acid batteries require careful monitoring to avoid overcharging or deep discharge. Redway Power recommends using matched battery types and capacities for optimal performance in any configuration. Want OEM lithium forklift batteries at wholesale prices? Check here.

What is a series battery?

Series increases voltage while keeping capacity the same, and parallel increases capacity while keeping voltage constant. Redway Power emphasizes proper configuration to match system requirements, ensuring safety, efficiency, and optimal battery lifespan for LiFePO4 or lead-acid setups. What Happens When Batteries Are Wired in Series?
