Figure 3.0 – Two PHI 2.7 Batteries in Parallel
Figure 3.0 represents two PHI 2.7 Batteries in Parallel. Wire lengths from PHI 2.7 Batteries
should be
identical
in length and gauge in order to balance the load across (all) PHI 2.7 Batteries
in the installation
. Identical wiring length is a critical feature of parallel power storage
systems that must be adhered to throughout all parallel wiring instructions.
Special attention should be paid for parallel installations. Correct wiring is essential to insure
optimum performance and system longevity. All wire “runs” should utilize
identical wiring gauge
and
identical wire lengths
between PHI 2.7 Batteries and the common negative or positive
“Bus” or Load. Figure 4.0 depicts four PHI 2.7 Batteries that have been wired in Parallel. This
configuration requires
8 identical lengths of appropriately heavy gauge copper wire
.

Helpful Tips:
•
Use identical length and gauge wire to balance the load across the PHI 2.7 Batteries.
•
Determine the cable length for the PHI 2.7 Battery terminal farthest from the bus.
•
Make all PHI 2.7 Battery cables a matching length.
