PSpice Lab Series Video 5 - Batteries In Parallel

Maybe you've got an RV or a boat with four or more house batteries used to power an air conditioner, oven, electric grill, etc. Maybe you've got a cabin off the grid and are harvesting solar energy to charge a battery bank. Ever wonder what those batteries are doing and how they are hooked up?

In this video I use PSpice to demonstrate how multiple batteries are connected in parallel in a power inverter, solar hybrid inverter or UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to increase capacity and run your ac, oven, etc longer on a full charge.



For more PSpice laboratory simulations, visit my YouTube PSpice Playlist.

Want to learn more? I’ll be teaching a Systems 1 course online in the fall and a Systems 2 course in the spring at Holyoke Community College. If you are anywhere in the world and interested in taking an online course with me drop an email to gsnyder@hcc.edu Both courses will transfer to most university electrical engineering programs in the United States. 

Hope to see you there!!
