Tiday I'm wiring two 12-volt Lithium LiFePO4 batteries in parallel to increase the solar storage capacity of my solar-powered off-grid ham radio station. This tutorial will demonstrate how to properly wire up two 12-volt batteries in parallel. I'll be using the Power Queen 12.8 volt, 100 amp-hour, 1280 watt-hour lithium iron phosphate batteries for the demonstration.
