🔍 Key Concepts

• Series vs. parallel battery connections and how they affect voltage and ampere-hours • How voltage adds in series while capacity (Ah) stays the same • How ampere-hours add in parallel while voltage stays the same

💭 Think About

• Trace the wiring: is each battery’s positive connected to the next battery’s negative, or are all positives tied together and all negatives tied together? • Count how many individual 12-volt sources are stacked in the path between the two output terminals. • Ask yourself: in this arrangement, is the current forced to flow through one battery at a time (series), or can it split into multiple paths (parallel)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify clearly which two terminals are the final output of the bank in the illustration. • Confirm whether the batteries are in one continuous chain (+ to − to + to −, etc.) or in multiple side‑by‑side branches. • Once you decide series or parallel, apply the rule: series → add voltages, same Ah; parallel → same voltage, add Ah before picking a choice.
