Series, Parallel, and Series-Parallel Connections of Batteries
For example, you can combine two pairs of batteries by connecting them in series, and then connect these series-connected pairs in parallel. This arrangement is referred to as a series

Battery banks are created by connecting two or more batteries together to support a single application.
There are two ways to connect multiple batteries: series connection or parallel connection. Most battery chemistries handle either type of connection, but sealed lead acid batteries have been
Batteries wired in series will add their voltages while the current capacity stays the same. Conversely, batteries wired in parallel will have their current capacities added together
