Connecting batteries in series adds the voltage without changing the amperage or capacity of the battery system. To wire multiple batteries in series, connect the negative terminal (-) of one battery to the positive terminal (+) of another, and do the same to the rest. Take Renogy 12V 200Ah Core Series LiFePO4 Battery as an example.
