https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/b6fed7f8-2131-4178-956d-11dfef01a4e3 Tiday I'm wiring two 12-volt Lithium LiFePO4 batteries in parallel to increase the solar storage capacity of my solar-powered off-grid ham radio station. This tutorial will demonstrate how to properly wire up two 12-volt batteries in parallel. I'll be using the Power Queen 12.8 volt, 100 amp-hour, 1280 watt-hour lithium iron phosphate batteries for the demonstration. 73 Julian #oh8stn on #solarpower Share video url: https://youtu.be/MyJyMVAurHY Huge thanks to Power Queen for making these posts and videos possible.
