Cells Per Battery Calculator
This formula allows you to determine the exact number of cells you need based on your specific voltage and capacity needs, simplifying
To achieve a total voltage of 48V, cells must be arranged in a series-parallel configuration. To reach a voltage of 48V, 13 cells are required in series because each cell provides 3.7V. When connected in series, the voltages add up, resulting in a total of 48.1V (13 cells × 3.7V per cell).
To build a 48V battery with lithium cells, you need 13 cells in series to reach the nominal voltage of 48V. Each 18650 lithium-ion cell has a nominal voltage of 3.7V, so 13 cells in series will provide approximately 48V.
So, you would need 42 cells in total to create a battery pack with 24V and 20Ah using cells with 3.7V and 3.5Ah. 1. Why do I need to connect cells in series for voltage? Connecting cells in series increases the overall voltage of the battery pack by adding the voltage of each individual cell.
» Electrical » Cells Per Battery Calculator The Cells Per Battery Calculator is a tool used to calculate the number of cells needed to create a battery pack with a specific voltage and capacity. When designing a battery pack, cells can be connected in two ways: in series to increase voltage, or in parallel to increase capacity.
