Batteries
Batteries may also be connected in a series/parallel combination. Batteries are added in series
until the desired voltage is obtained, and in parallel until the battery bank meets capacity
requirements. Only like cells or batteries should be connected together. Connecting cells or
batteries of different rating or manufacturer may produce undesirable or even dangerous
results.
