Parallel Connection: In parallel batteries, all positive terminals are connected together, and all negative terminals are connected together, keeping the voltage the same but increasing the total current.

Remember, electricity flows through parallel or series connections as if it were a single battery. It can't tell the difference. Therefore, you can parallel two sets of batteries that are in series to create a series-parallel setup. First, we recommend putting each set in series first.
To wire multiple batteries in parallel, connect the negative terminal (-) of one battery to the negative terminal (-) of another, and do the same to the positive terminals (+). For example, you can connect four Renogy 12V 200Ah Core Series LiFePO4 Batteries in parallel. In this system, the system voltage and current are calculated as follows:
Parallel connection attains higher capacity by adding up the total ampere-hour (Ah). Some packs may consist of a combination of series and parallel connections. Laptop batteries commonly have four 3.6V Li-ion cells in series to achieve a nominal voltage 14.4V and two in parallel to boost the capacity from 2,400mAh to 4,800mAh.
The basic concept is that when connecting in parallel, you add the amp hour ratings of the batteries together, but the voltage remains the same. For example: two 6 volt 4.5 Ah batteries wired in parallel are capable of providing 6 volt 9 amp hours (4.5 Ah + 4.5 Ah).
