Battery/Cell Arrangement

From Unofficial Zero Manual
Jump to: navigation, search

Cell arrangement (also battery arrangement or battery configuration) refers to how the cells are grouped to provide power with sufficient current and voltage output for the application.

  • Series arrangements raise pack voltage
  • Parallel arrangements increase pack current capacity, as well as balance cells if they are cross-connected.
