I am looking at the manual for an Altronix Eflow6N16D. It says that you can only install one battery in the enclosure if the voltage is set to 12 volts. I cannot understand why you cannot install two batteries in parallel. The manual shows that the charger can take up to 40AH of batteries. Two 7AH batteries in parallel gives you 14AH.
My very basic understanding of batteries is that a 40AH battery just has more cells connected in parallel than a 7AH battery. Therefore, connecting two 7AH batteries is the same thing as a 14AH battery (except the parallel connections are external to the battery)
Am I missing something here?
