Battery Wiring

Post by Gamerdude »

I belive that basic electronics states that to increase voltage you hook a battery's positive to anothers negative :shock: :lol: and in the end of the chain you end up with the outputs. To increse amprage you hook + to + and - to - I think. Will this blow up :D a Lithium battery and do I need a protection circuit or anything and if this is not the way then how would I do this? :?

Unless you want your hands melted into your portable, you need protection circuits on lithium batteries.

Hey, thanks but this still doesn't answer my first question. Could I use one of these on each pack and then hook them both together as described above or would I need a different kind of PCM :?
