Technical FAQs 4

Can I connect two batteries in parallel to an inverter?

Connecting two batteries in parallel to an inverter can increase the system's charge capacity and output power. Below, we will detail how to perform this operation. First, make sure you have two batteries of the same specifications to ensure they work well in parallel.

Can two inverters connect to the same battery bank?

It is possible to connect two inverters to the same battery bank. Either you choose inverters that can communicate with each other or you have two separate inverters powering a different load. Never connect the output of two separate inverters. How many batteries can be connected in parallel to an inverter?

How many batteries can I connect to my inverter?

There is no set limit to how many batteries you can connect to your inverter. But you must understand how you connect your batteries together affects what you can and can’t do! For example, connecting your batteries in series will be different to connecting in parallel.

Should I connect my inverter in parallel?

The big benefit of connecting in parallel is that the voltage to your inverter remains the same while the overall energy capacity. So if you use 2, 5, or 10, 12V batteries the voltage would remain at 12V. This is important as your inverter will be designed for a specific input voltage – usually 12V or 24V.
