EV Battery Choice: 6v or 12v?
For a vehicle like a Chevy S10 of Ford Ranger, which scenario would give you the most capacity/ mileage? A. Twenty-four 6 volt batteries in series for 144 volts DC? or... B. Twenty-four 12 volt batteries with 2 batteries wired in parallel, then in series with another 2 in parallel and so forth for a total of 144 volts DC. Hi - Voltages being equal, and total AH being equal after you've wired them, then the six volt batteries will give you better range in a DC conversion, while the 12 volt batteries will give you more available power. Most commuters use 6 volt batteries unless there's a weight issue, in which case they use 8 volt batteries. 12 volt batteries are usually for racers, where sucking amps is the point, or for AC conversions, where the inverter carefully controls amp draw.
