Hello,

I have 4 150 amp hour batteries. When wired in parallel, this would give me 600 amp hours at 12 volts.

If I wire it in series, I would get 48v at 150 amp hours.

The question I have is when wiring in series, with the reduction of amp hours, do you actually loose run time? If so, other than cable size, why would you?

Thanks,

Rob
