    wiring t-plug 58ah 1000w 48v batteries in parallel

    I am wondering how I would wire two 1000w 48v batteries in parallel. They have "t-plugs" to connect them to a controller but I'm not sure how I could connect them to 1 t-plug so they can be connected to a controller. just to clarify this is for an e-bike build, I need to wire them in parallel...

    Strange things happen with two PIRs in parallel

    I needed to illuminate our dark side walk at the house. I have used two PIRs wired in parallel which switch four LED lights. The idea is no matter which side of the walk you start at, you'll always set one PIR off and have light. This works, but randomly the MCB of the circuit triggers. I...

    Flummoxed by a basic parallel resistance question

    I normally bash through these worksheets quite quickly (or at least, I rarely get one like this which I just can't suss out), but this one has got me stumped. Yes, I've googled it and youtubed it for a while (although usually I only really resort to that when I don't have the knowledge to work...

    Converting 3-Way to Parallel

    I have a couple of lights on a 3-way circuit and I want to rewire them with motion sensor outlets and have them in parallel. This way, if either sensor activates, the light will be on. I am seeking guidance on the right way to do this. I have read a bit on 3-way wiring and it looks like there...

    Best way to parallel 25mm/35mm singles

    Hi I'm installing two new sub-mains. I need to parallel some of the supply cables. It's the main incomer in 5 x 25mm, with 5 x outgoing 25mm tails to the adjacent DB, and an outgoing 4-core 35mm SWA going off to another building a long way away. I will terminate in a 300 x 300 x 75mm metal...

    Parallel wiring for RV LED

    I am going to wire (4) 6W LED lights in parallel in the ceiling panel of my van conversion. Rather than run the wire from light to light and splicing in wires as reaches a light, I thought I would buy a couple of 5-wire Wago connectors and use them a mini-bus bars. Just bring the single 18AWG...

    Is it OK to connect a PIR in parallel with a wall switch?

    Hi, I want to add a PIR to a porch light but I want the original light switch to still behave as it always has. i.e. both the light switch and the PIR can switch on the light. The diagram shows what I want to do. The circuit is pretty simple and will work as I want. My question is this... Is it...

    Question about discharging nimh cells in parallel

    Hi, I have question about paralallel discharging NiMH modules. I have 40 modules and one modul consist of 6 x 1.2V cell = So nominal capacity is 7.2V. These modules are in car connected in series. But I replaced 15 bad cells and now I need balance them. In one thread I have got good advices but...

    Parallel nimh cells connection

    Hello I have question about connect to 40 nimh cells with 8.4 - 8.7 Volts parallel. I need balance whole battery pack for hybrid car. Is it safe to connect 40 cells parallel and wait? Every cell has more than 5000mAh capacity, but I need the same voltage. One more question is if I can discharge...

    Running Parallel Cables for 400A Sub Main

    Hi All, I’m after some advice. I’ll cut to the chase but I can give more detail if needed. A 400A sub main supply needs to be ran 100m, a pretty direct route on ladder tray. Instead of one large cable (I think it’s 240mm), I was looking into running parallel cables instead. I’ve not done this...
