There are two ways to wire batteries together, parallel and series. The illustrations below show how these set wiring variations can produce different voltage and amp hour outputs. In the graphics we’ve used sealed lead acid batteries but the concepts of how units are connected is true of all battery types.
Although Maritime Rules, such as 40A.38 require approval of certain information by a recognised Design Approver Electrical (DAE) when a ship undergoes major alteration of its electrical systems, they do not specify what happens when a Li-ion battery pack or bank replaces a Lead-acid battery or battery bank.
For more information on wiring in series see Connecting batteries in series, or our article on building battery banks. The basic concept is that when connecting in parallel, you add the amp hour ratings of the batteries together, but the voltage remains the same. For example:
With no resistance to slow this charging process, the charged units can overheat as they rapidly drain and the discharged battery can overheat as it attempts to charge at well above its design capabilities. If you mix batteries of different ages – the older batteries will always have a lower voltage as all batteries self-discharge over time.
Lead Acid batteries: Applies to all rechargeable batteries that have sulphuric acid as the battery electrolyte and lead-based plates. In New Zealand, this includes the following battery types: Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries: All rechargeable batteries that work by the transfer of lithium-ions between the electrodes.
This means that if you have two batteries in series of the same voltage and amp hour capacity that you have been using for a while, but replace one with a new unit, what you have in reality is one battery with a higher voltage and amperage (the new battery) than the other older battery.
Connecting batteries with different ampere ratings in series – as with different voltages smaller ampere rated batteries will drain faster and deeper than they are designed to …
