Greetings, few 150Ah batteries in parallel support? there any way to connect 10 batteries in parallel without damaging this team?

Yes, you can connect ten batteries in parallel. It's important that all the batteries be of the same type and condition if possible. This improves both the safety and performance of the battery bank.

Hey Edwars O. Not sure. What type/sort of system are you putting together? 6V 12V? What are you needing to run, and for how long? What are your energy needs? I can't answer your question my friend without more info. I personally use the 400 watt system with another 100 watt panel. I match my batt bank so every 100 watt of solar for 100Ah of storage. Yes, it is over kill for just myself! I'm still in the learning processes if you will. The panels that come with this kit have zero issues with charging the batteries on cloudy days. I'm very happy with this basic system so far!!

I must AMMEND my former statement!!! A DUMMY battery is NOT A DEAD one. They are actually sold as dummies by companies and are cheap. I was lucky enough to have been corrected by RbwNY on July 7th. He/she informed me of this and added that pairing a 'dead' battery with the Li-on s can cause damage, etc. to the equipment. I should have known this as I know that pairing even an alkaline with a on-alkaline is NOT recommended. My apologies to everyone out there who has read my former comment. And a BIG THANKS to RbwNY for the help and advice!!!

I would contact Pulsetech directly on this, but not sure you would get the full benefit. Another option is to get the charger with quad connection. Will let you keep 4 batteries on pulse/charge at one time.

According to the hype, you can charge up to 4, 12 Volt batteries at once? However, I could not get it to work?

Connect the positive cable to one end of the battery bank and the negative cable to the other end of the battery bank if possible.It would help distribute the load evenly.

It shouldn't matter, since they are in parallel. I have an eight-battery, parallel setup in which I connected it to the last one in line, because it is the closest to my control panel.

You could connect both sets of leads to one battery and get 10 Amps but you might confuse the charger. Each set of leads receives 5 Amps. I recommend talking to the manufacturer to see if that application will work correctly.

Can't really help much there - I do know that dissimilar batts generally don't play nice in the sandbox. It's an old rule that says you only ask the same flavor to play together. ...unfortunately, with some of the newer ion types, they need to be practically the same service age as well.

Good luck with that. I can't get the "load" terminals to work at all. I just connect direct to the batteries.

Yes, the product manual shows a wiring diagram for how to wire 2 12v batteries in parallel. I am only running one battery right now, but I was originally planning on doing this. This kit works so well with my small trailer I don't even need 2 batteries. I have an 18ft trailer and low power requirements. If you are in the sun/partial sun they trickle charge all day and only start using juice in the evening/night. My battery rarely goes below 85% and is usually fully charged by 8-9am. There are videos that will help with your installation on the GoPower web site and YouTube.

I've read where the agm batt can be charged by this charger when connected in parallel with another conventional battery. I also know that there are agm battery chargers available. I suggest that you look up the charging of the agm on youtube. Someone has probably already solved this type of problem. Cheers.

There are several ways to do this. For a parallel connection: The absolute rule is that positive (+) goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative. The easiest way to wire them in parallel is to make two pigtails for each battery. Use wire no smaller than #16 gauge stranded, #14 would be best. Having two colors, preferably red for + and black for - will help you keep things in order. Buy four female and two male insulated quick-disconnect (fast-on) crimp terminals of the right size to fit the battery terminals. These are 0.25-inch terminals. Radio Shack 64-3049 has a kit of four of each. Crimp a female terminal to just one end of each pigtail. Skin and twist together the other end of the two black wires and crimp one female terminal to them. Do the same for the red wires. Plug negative male connector from your load to the black wires. Do the same with the red wire. Use electrical tape to cover each connection. Plug the black pigtails to the battery negatives. Plug the red pigtails to the battery positives.

Several possibilities for the problem. Use quality batteries such as Duricell and be sure to buy from a supplier with a high turn-over. Be very sure that the battery's are fresh. Even a dead battery will measure 1.5 volts but it will not be able to deliver the required current. When operating with low voltage, contact resistance is always a problem. To minimize this resistance issue, always spin the battery's after installation, this polishes the contacts. There is always the possibility that the unit is defective. I have not had any problems with my unit..............hope this helps.............Bill

I have an additional thought to your answer Kurt. While it may be true that the unit auto switches from 12 to 24 volts for two batteries. If more than two batteries are involved (in 24volt configuration) Additional batteries would have to be by two and in parallell. If you start with one battery (12 volts), just keep adding in parallel. Personally I would just assume hook up one battery at a time ...charge it up fast...then hook up the next one.

I had a similar problem once. I found that the pins on the battery connector were bent out of alignment and therefore didn't make contact. Be very careful on aligning the pins when pushing the connectors together.

I think all the batteries are basically the same. However, I would be prepared to do some soldering to get them connected.

I don't think the battery comes with an XT60 connector in the kit. That being said, you can easily make a small pigtail that converts one of the plugs to XT60. Would cost under $10 to make and all you need is a soldering iron. I've used these batteries for about a year and they provide reliable power at high discharge rates. Cheers,
