Connecting in parallel increases amp hour capacity only. The basic concept is that when connecting in parallel, you add the amp hour ratings of the batteries together, but the voltage remains the same. For example: two 6 volt 4.5 Ah batteries wired in parallel are capable of providing 6 volt 9 amp hours (4.5 Ah + 4.5 Ah).

Storage can provide similar start-up power to larger power plants, if the storage system is suitably sited and there is a clear transmission path to the power plant from the storage system''s location. Storage system size range: 5–50 MW Target discharge duration range: 15 minutes to 1 hour Minimum cycles/year: 10–20.
Energy storage materials have been a hot topic for many years [4]. Even though the storage mechanisms vary for the different TES technologies, a similar methodology should be followed to select a storage medium for a given application. Transient hot wire method is an intrusive technique that can be used for measuring the
The electrochemical interface applies a constant voltage (CV) or constant current (CC) and the FRA superimposes an ac signal. A multiplexer connects the FRA to the battery test system. A typical setup is shown in Fig. 1. The battery is connected using four wires — two for current flow and two for cell potential.

Typically battery manufacturers only run life cycle tests at 100% or 80% of energy capacity. However utility cycles can also involve depth of discharge cycling that mix moderate (20-30%) depth of discharge combined with many small (<1%) depth of discharge events. Partial state of charge test patterns must be used to augment the full scale depth
