Lost in Translation - Volts and amps to series and parralel

[BATFINK]

Hey guys anybody have a decent chart for reference when comparing voltage and amps to series and parallel packs. Thanks.

Um, I can't imagine a chart that would tell you what you want for every pack in existence (whcih seems to be what you are asking for, as you give no specifics about what packs/etc you are talking about).


But basically you just add things per series-parallel rules. Stuff in series adds V, stuff in parallel adds Ah.

Amps, well, that depends on what you are doing with it, but C-rate adds in parallel just like Ah.

He's a start

For this example, the four batteries are 12V each, and they are the 10-Ah size (Amp-hour).

The top pic is SERIES, so the pack will be 48V and 10-Ah

The bottom pic is PARALLEL, so the pack would be 12V and 40-Ah

Your question is a little confusing. Are you trying to compare capacity of these different packs? If so you need to use watt hours which is volts times amp hours.

If that isn't what you need then go into more detail on what you are trying to compare.
