Wiring lithium-ion batteries in series is a common practice to increase overall voltage, but requires careful attention to detail and adherence to safety guidelines. Always refer to the specifications provided by the battery manufacturer and use a BMS to monitor and protect the battery pack. By following these steps, you can create a reliable and high-voltage power source for your electronic projects.

Connecting multiple lithium batteries in parallel can be a smart way to increase capacity and achieve longer-lasting power sources. However, doing this improperly can result in safety hazards and damage to the batteries. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the process of properly connecting lithium batteries in parallel while ensuring safety and efficiency.

Lithium-ion batteries operate based on the movement of lithium ions between the anode and cathode during charge and discharge cycles. During discharge, lithium ions move from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte. When the battery is being charged, an external voltage is applied, causing the movement of lithium ions in the opposite direction.

Lithium-ion battery fires can be dangerous and costly, as demonstrated by the APS fire in Arizona. While these batteries offer many benefits, it is important to take appropriate precautions to minimize the risk of a fire. By following best practices for storage, handling, and maintenance, and by installing fire suppression systems where appropriate, the risk of a lithium-ion battery fire can be greatly reduced.
