Smart Shunt with batteries in series and 2 bank charger
I just ordered 2 12v 200ah LifePo4 batteries for my trolling motor on my boat. I will be wiring them in series to achieve 24 volts. I understand the wiring to install the shunt with all negatives (except battery negative) connected after it and the 2 small wires from the shunt to each battery positive to be able to monitor both batteries.

How to Connect Batteries in Series and Parallel?
Example: If you connect four 12V 100Ah batteries, you''ll have a system with a voltage of 48V and a capacity of 100Ah.. To safely wire batteries in series, all batteries must have the same voltage and capacity ratings. For instance, you can connect two 6V 10Ah batteries in series, but you should not connect a 6V 10Ah battery with a 12V 20Ah battery.

Do I need a special cable for my battery?
Special cables are required that can handle the peak discharge current of your batteries and potentially the new current after connecting more batteries. For example, my home battery is rated at 100A and 48V.
How do you wire a battery in series?
Wiring batteries in series involves connecting the positive terminal of one battery to the negative terminal of the next battery, creating a chain-like connection. This results in the total voltage of the batteries being added together. For example, if you connect two 12-volt batteries in series, the total voltage output will be 24 volts.
Can a 12V battery be connected in series?
When creating a lead-acid battery bank with a higher voltage, like 24 or 48V you will need to connect multiple 12V batteries in series. But there is one problem with connecting batteries in series, and this is that batteries are not electrically identical. They have slight differences in internal resistance.
Can you connect a battery to a solar panel?
You can connect batteries in series or parallel, with each option offering different tradeoffs. Much like connecting solar panels, it is a matter of what you are solving for, increasing the voltage or current. With batteries, though, there are a few basics you need to keep in mind before you proceed: Batteries use higher currents.
What types of batteries can be connected in parallel?
Flow batteries and other chemistries. These are commonly available in 48V. Multiple batteries can connect in parallel without any issues. Each battery has its own battery management system. Together they will generate a total state of charge value for the whole battery bank. A GX monitoring device is needed in the system.
Why should I wire a battery in series?
Voltage Increase: Wiring batteries in series allows you to increase the total voltage of your battery system. Each battery’s positive terminal connects to the negative terminal of the next battery, resulting in a cumulative voltage.
