1.1 Description
The AlphaCell HP battery is a lead acid battery that facilitates an oxygen recombination cycle.
You can connect multiple strings of batteries in parallel. This provides a system whose
capacity equals the sum capacity of all the strings. For example, in Fig. 3, two 36V 90Ah
capacity strings are connected in parallel to provide a nominal 36V at 180Ah.
A 12V battery is made up of six 2V cells internally connected to provide 12 volts.
The battery system is a group of 12V batteries connected in a series string to provide a
higher voltage system. In Fig. 2, three of the nominal 12V batteries are connected in series to
provide an 18 cell system with a nominal voltage of 36V.

(For illustration purposes, a 36Volt string is shown. 48Volt strings are also available)
Alpha highly recommends fusing in single and parallel string configurations.
