What is the voltage of five batteries?
2 Answers
An electric vehicle with 5 batteries is 60 volts. Because one battery in an electric vehicle is 12 volts, 4 batteries would be 48 volts, and 6 batteries would be 72 volts. Battery voltage of electric vehicles: The higher the battery voltage, the larger the capacity, and the greater the range. Under the same voltage, a battery with a larger capacity has more power. With the same capacity, a battery with higher voltage has stronger operational capability than one with lower voltage. Methods to extend battery life: Avoid storing in a discharged state: A discharged state refers to when the battery is not charged promptly after use, leading to insufficient charging and reduced battery capacity. The longer the battery remains idle in a discharged state, the more severe the damage. When the battery is not in use, it should be charged once a month to extend its lifespan.
As for car batteries, I'm an experienced driver who's been using standard 12-volt batteries for decades. You asked about five batteries' voltage? It all depends on the connection. In series, connected one after another, the voltage adds up to 60 volts. If parallel, laid side by side, the voltage stays at 12 volts but provides longer endurance. However, regular cars use a single 12-volt battery – fitting five is uncommon unless for modified EVs or RV auxiliary power. I've tried paralleling two batteries while camping – extended runtime but prone to overheating, requiring proper cables and fuses. High voltage is risky; 60 volts can electrocute and fry vehicle electronics. Bottom line: don't just count batteries, specify the connection method to avoid mishaps.
