Series and parallel battery configurations describe how individual cells are connected to achieve desired voltage and capacity levels.
Expanded Explanation
Cells connected in series increase voltage, while cells connected in parallel increase capacity and current capability. Many battery packs use a combination of both to meet application requirements. The chosen configuration affects voltage output, runtime, thermal behavior, and protection strategy, making it a critical design decision.
Why it matters
Proper configuration ensures the battery pack meets electrical and performance requirements safely.
