cells in Parallel and series

Apr 25, 2021 9 Replies

Please I have nine cells which are 2 volts, 2amp each. I need to combine th em to get 6 volts, 6amp, which connection is better - connecting 3 cell in parallel (to obtain 2 volts 6amp) then i connect the 3 groups in series or connecting 3 cells in series first to obtain 6 volts, 2amp per set and conn ecting the set in parallel?


If charging is not required use either.

If they're lithium rechargable cells and all the same kind and condition then the sets of parallel three will keep each other in balance better than if you have three isolated series strings.

If the most likely fault is one going high resistance or discharged, that will have less impact with three in parallel...

Your whole idea is stupid.

This question sounds suspiciously like a homework problem.

It has that feel. But what kind of class has a homework problem with a practical application? Can't be an EE.

As ironically stated by the John Doe troll in message-id who has posted yet another incorectly formatted USENET posting on Wed, 28 Jul 2021 19:36:40 -0000 (UTC) in message-id .

Are those batteries falling out of a damaged laptop?
