Hi MechanicForGMCars, thanks for watching, I will leave your comment and question for people to answer if they know the answer. I can't answer because I haven’t done setup like yours.
Hi Alexandre LeBlanc, yes that is correct. The only difference is the voltage with example 1 you will have a 24v supply. And with the 3rd example you will have a 12V supply 👍
I have 6 12v valence battery connect it series-parallel, 24v and planning to buy a 24v valence battery connect it as parallel, can I connect it on the 6 battery 12v series-parallel then 6 24v parallel?
Hi, thanks for watching, I don’t think you would have the same Ah from the 6 12v batteries and your 24v battery. If you don’t, then I would not recommend it. I must say, I never did that. Setup I do are usually same (v & Ah) batteries. Sorry I’m not much help. But Ah are important they should match or be very close. Which in your case don’t think they will be the same. 🙁. Also make sure all your batteries are the type. Example: Don’t mix lead Acid with gel cell batteries
Hi, I have 8 batteries 12v 26Ah connected (S and P). these are connected to a Mecer 2400va, after 2 hours batteries run out and when I check them, I see a reading of 10v, 11v, and 12.36v in some batteries. not sure what I have done wrong. any advice?
Hi Thobela, thanks for watching. Do your wires heat up when in use? Make sure you have the right gauge wire in your setup. Next I would make sure all your connection are good. If they are loose it will create resistance or no contact. If you have fuse between batteries make sure they are ok. I suspect loose connection…. Also if you have batteries that are older or with damage cell then other batteries will suffer and drain faster. If your wiring is good, I would test every battery individually in case one is going bad. Let me know your results Hope this helps, good luck
Hi Tito, thanks for watching, it all depends what equipment is connected to your batteries. The more amperage you need for your equipment the bigger the wire should be. Here is a video I did that can explain what wire to use. czcams.com/video/c_9MxEdlRuA/video.html Let me know if this helps 👍
3:10 "Wiring Batteries in Serial" Instructions unclear. As soon as I placed my batteries in the milk, everything started going snap/crackle/pop! Should I have placed the batteries first and _then_ poured the milk?

hi Frederick Udoukpe, thanks for watching. here’s a great website that gives good info and they have the example of 8 batteries for 48 volts at the bottom of the website. check out cleversolarpower.com/connect-8-12v-batteries-to-make-48v/ Hope This helps :)
From the internet To connect three 12-volt tubular batteries to create a 24-volt system for your 3.2 kW Inverex brand inverter, you will need to follow these steps: 1 - Gather the required materials: * Three 12-volt tubular batteries * Appropriate battery cables and connectors * Insulated tools (screwdriver, wrench, etc.) 2 - Determine the battery configuration: * You will need to connect the batteries in series to achieve the desired 24-volt output. In a series connection, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next battery. * The positive terminal of the first battery will be connected to the positive terminal of the inverter, and the negative terminal of the third battery will be connected to the negative terminal of the inverter. 3 - Make the necessary preparations: * Ensure that all batteries are fully charged and have a similar capacity and voltage. * Place the batteries in a suitable location with proper ventilation and secure them in a battery rack or enclosure. 4 - Connect the batteries in series: * Connect the positive terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the inverter. Use a battery cable and appropriate connectors to make a secure connection. * Connect the negative terminal of the first battery to the positive terminal of the second battery. * Finally, connect the negative terminal of the second battery to the positive terminal of the third battery. * The negative terminal of the third battery should be connected to the negative terminal of the inverter. 5- Double-check the connections: * Ensure that all connections are secure and tight. * Inspect the cables for any signs of damage or loose connections. 6 - Test the setup: * Turn on the inverter and monitor the voltage and performance to ensure everything is functioning as expected. * Verify that the inverter recognizes the 24-volt battery bank and operates within its specified parameters. It's essential to consult the user manual or manufacturer's guidelines for your specific inverter and batteries. Following the instructions provided by the manufacturer will ensure a safe and proper connection Hope this helps

Hi Nitin, to get 2 powers points (example 12v and 24v) its best to have 3 batteries. One for 12V and the 2 others for 24V. You can do it with 2 batteries only but it's not the best for the battery life. To do with 2 batteries you will take the example of 24V in series and then just use your first battery for 12V. hope this helps

I do not understand how you got the answer for the last illustration where the answer was 24 V AND 255 AH. I would have thought it would be 36V and 255 AH. Can you explain my error please. Thank-you. I do enjoy your videos.
Let me know if this helps or else I try to explain better. Btw thanks for watching 👍. So if look left to right you see batteries in series so they are 2 in series so 24v.

Hi James, thanks for watching: AH: An Amp/Hour is a rating usually found on deep cycle batteries and is a capacity rating. The standard rating is a based on how many amps you can pull out of the battery over a 20-hour period.
Very well made video period not just in the information but in the presentation of the information makes it easier for the newbies to understand it.

amps x hours is not same as amps per hour.
Hi James, thanks for watching: AH: An Amp/Hour is a rating usually found on deep cycle batteries and is a capacity rating. The standard rating is a based on how many amps you can pull out of the battery over a 20-hour period.
Easy way to think of amps and volts. Think of a pipe with water flowing.
Amps is flow
Volts is pressure.
