XI. Description

The UPSs are used to protect sensitive IT equipment and prevent loss of valuable electronic
information, minimize equipment downtime, and minimize the adverse effect on production
equipment due to unexpected power problems.
Inverter can make AC to DC and DC to AC and it's completely automatic, when in coming supply is
broken or not coming this inverter will make DC to AC voltage for you appliances. However look it
below diagram for better understanding.

Connecting in Series

When connecting your batteries in Series you are doubling the voltage while maintaining the same
capacity rating (amp hours). This might be used in a scooter, Power Wheels kids vehicle, or other
applications. Just use a jumper wire between the negative of the first battery and the positive of the
second battery. Run your negative wire off of the open connector from the first battery and your
positive off of the open connector on your second battery.

Connecting in Parallel

When connecting in Parallel you are doubling the capacity (amp hours) of the battery while
maintaining the voltage of one of the individual batteries. This would be used in applications such
as laptop batteries, some scooters, some ups backups, etc. Use a jumper wire between the positives
of both batteries and another jumper wire between the negatives of both batteries. Connect your
positive and negative wires to the same battery to run to your application.
