Connecting multiple lithium batteries into a string of batteries allows us to build a battery bank with the potential to operate at an increased voltage, or with increased capacity and runtime, or both. .
Lithium battery banks using batteries with built-in Battery Management Systems (BMS) are created by connecting two or more batteries together to support a. .
The primary function of a BMS is to ensure that each cell in the battery remains within its safe operating limits, and to take appropriate action to prevent the. .
The primary purpose of a BMS is to interrupt the charge and discharge process if cell and battery voltage, cell and battery current and cell and BMS temperatures. .
Lithium batteries are connected in series when the goal is to increase the nominal voltage rating of one individual lithium battery - by connecting it in series strings. Series connections stack voltage, while parallel connections add capacity. For example, three 3.2V 100Ah LiFePO4 cells in series create a 9.6V 100Ah pack. The same cells in parallel form a 3.2V 300Ah pack. Pro Tip: Always use cells with ≤1% voltage variance to avoid imbalance.

[pdf] As a rule of thumb, if your 300W solar panel is rated at 24 Volts (nominal), and the distance between your solar panel and the solar charge controller is less than 25 feet (7.5m), a 12 AWG Copper wire would generally be sufficient.
