  • An Amp Hour (Ah) is the amount of current a certain battery can supply for a certain period of time.
  • If we have the amp hour rating of the battery, we can compute how long the battery will last while supplying a certain current. 
  • The ampere-hour rating of a battery is given by multiplying the current (amperes) by the discharge time (hours).
  •  

    Series connection:

    • Increases output voltage.
    • Capacity remains the same (measured in ampere-hours).

     

    Parallel Connection:

    In order to increase the ampere-hour rating of a battery, cells are connected in parallel.

    This is explained with the help of the following diagram:

    • The positive terminals of all batteries are connected together, or to a common conductor, and all negative terminals are connected in the same manner.
    • The final voltage remains unchanged while the capacity of the assembly is the sum of the capacities of the individual batteries of this connection.
