Series increases voltage (e.g., two 3.7V cells in series yield 7.4V), while parallel boosts capacity (e.g., two 2000mAh cells in parallel provide 4000mAh). Use series for high-voltage devices like EVs; choose parallel for extended runtime in low-voltage systems.
[pdf] If you are hooking batteries up in series, connect the positive terminal of one to the negative of the next, and so on. The following formula applies to series circuits: (V total = V 1 +V 2 etc.). This will provide you with extra voltage for the load, but no extra current (I total = I 1 = I 2 etc.).
[pdf] Sometimes to increase the power of the solar PV system, instead of increasing the voltage by connecting modules in series the current is increased by connecting modules in parallel. The current in th.
