Parallel
Wiring the batteries in “parallel” increases the total run
time the batteries can operate the AC loads. The more
batteries connected in parallel the longer the loads can
be powered from the unit.
Battery Configurations (continued)
Series-Parallel
“Series-parallel” configurations increase both the
battery voltage (to match the unit’s DC requirements)
and run-time for operating the AC loads.
