Abstract

This paper illustrates the series resistances of two parallel and series connected batteries. The series resistances are calculated based upon experimental measurements at solar energy laboratory. The batteries under test are supplied by solar cells array for few days for charging them. The experiments show that, the best configuration is series one in spite of it's large series resistance than parallel configuration.
