Formula For Calculating Amp Hours

[guidecca]

(16) EVE 2.3v 280Ah cells = how many amp hours? Thanks.

It depends on the voltage of the battery you are making.

When cells (or solar panels) are hooked up in series their voltage adds, but the amp stay the same.

When hooked up in parallel the voltage stays the same and the amps add.

So if you are making a 48v battery - 16@3.2v = 51.2v and 280Ah

If making a 12v battery - 4*3.2 = 12.8v and 4* 280Ah = 1120Ah -

either way the same energy.

I'm making a 24v battery.

That would be 560ah at 24V

16 cells would get you qty 2 .... 8S packs or 1 2P8S pack .... either way 560ah at 24V
