Re: Need Help – Solar Powered Fan

hello, I was reading through a site that seems to contradict wiring in a series… I am wondering what anyone thinks about the following:

“ON BATTERY BANK INTERCONNECTION FOR OFF-GRID SELF SUFFICIENT LIVING DESIGN”

“The novice often wires the parallel so that all positive terminals are connected, and all negative terminals, then taps off of one end or the other of the bank, thinking it will give him the amp hours we have indicated. I have even seen this type of connection diagrammed on solar sites that should know better. It will give the added amp hours, but it does so in the direction of the tap. The first battery goes down to 0% faster, then the next battery and so on. This causes the closest batteries to cycle and stay unused causing faster sulfation, wearing them out faster than the farthest. All of them will wear many times faster than they should, because it will be breaking the 50% rule.” https://wayoffgrid.com/

I am a novice so please forgive me:), I just thought of this posting when I was reading this the other night, and started to wonder which is the best choice then…. have nice day
