DIY Battery Pack Assembly Guide

Series Connection (Voltage Addition):

  • Connect positive (+) tab of one cell to negative (-) tab of next cell
  • 2 cells in series = 7.4V (3.7V + 3.7V)
  • 3 cells in series = 11.1V (3.7V + 3.7V + 3.7V)
  • Capacity remains the same (2040mAh)
  • Best Tab Type: Type A or Type C

Parallel Connection (Capacity Addition):

  • Connect all positive (+) tabs together
  • Connect all negative (-) tabs together
  • 2 cells in parallel = 3.7V, 4080mAh (2040mAh + 2040mAh)
  • 3 cells in parallel = 3.7V, 6120mAh (2040mAh + 2040mAh + 2040mAh)
  • Voltage remains the same (3.7V)
  • Best Tab Type: Type B

Series-Parallel Combination (Voltage + Capacity):

  • Example: 2S2P = 2 series groups of 2 parallel cells
  • Result: 7.4V, 4080mAh
  • Example: 3S2P = 3 series groups of 2 parallel cells
  • Result: 11.1V, 4080mAh
  • Best Tab Type: Mix of Type A/B/C based on layout
