When connecting two battery packs, you can use either a series or parallel configuration. A series connection increases voltage, while a parallel connection boosts capacity and maintains voltage. Each method has its use cases and implications on the vehicle''s electrical system. Considering both the benefits and drawbacks, automotive owners should carefully
$begingroup$ You can always connect two battery packs in series. The problem is to keep the stronger cells from reverse-biasing the weaker and destroying them. In your case, the thing to do is provide a simple voltage-sensing circuit for each battery pack, and if either pack gets a voltage too low, you MUST turn off power to the load.
The battery configuration is S4 (four in series), and a fuse is connected to the positive side of the battery to shut off the battery when the current exceeds the limits. There is BMS Monitoring every cell voltage for balancing and fault detection. The current sensing unit will sense the charge and discharge the current it sends to BMS. If any reading of voltage or
