Simple Parallel Arrangements
Storage Capacity and total available Amperage is increased by Parallel arrangements. The following
illustration shows two PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries in
Parallel. For example, assume that these are 24V
Smart-Tech Batteries.
Note the overall Voltage range is not changed. The arrangement remains at 24 Volts, the available AH
capacity, or ability to provide 24 Volt power over time, has been doubled. The available amperage from
the system has been doubled. The same configuration should be applied to other parallel arrangements,
whether they are 24V or 48V. See Figure 1.2.

PHI SMART-TECH BATTERIES ARE DESIGNED FOR PARALLEL OPERATION ONLY - DO NOT ARRANGE
IN SERIES FOR INCREASED VOLTAGE
WIRING IN SERIES WILL VOID WARRANTY
Figure 1.3
Figure 1.3 represents two PHI2.6™ Smart-Tech Batteries in Parallel. Wire lengths from PHI Smart-Tech
Batteries should be
identical in length and gauge in order to balance the load across both (all) PHI Smart-
Tech 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.
