How to use the Battery Series Voltage Calculator

The Battery Series Voltage Calculator works out your total voltage in an instant. Enter number of cells and voltage per cell and the result updates as you type — it is free, needs no sign-up, and runs entirely in your browser so your figures stay private.

  1. Enter the number of cells.
  2. Enter the voltage per cell.
  3. Read off your total voltage — the calculator updates automatically, with no button to press.

Formula

The Battery Series Voltage Calculator uses the formula:

Total voltage = Number of cells × Voltage per cell

Worked example

For example, with number of cells of 4 and voltage per cell of 3.7 V, the total voltage is 14.80.

Inputs used
Number of cells 4
Voltage per cell 3.7 V
Results
Total voltage 14.80

Frequently asked questions

Multiply the number of cells by the voltage per cell. Four 3.7 V cells in series give 14.8 V.

No. Series wiring adds voltage but keeps the same amp-hour capacity.

Parallel wiring keeps voltage the same and adds capacity.

To reach a higher voltage needed by a device than a single cell provides.

The Battery Series Voltage Calculator uses the formula: Total voltage = Number of cells × Voltage per cell. For example, with number of cells of 4 and voltage per cell of 3.7 V, the total voltage is 14.80.

Enter the number of cells. Enter the voltage per cell. Read off your total voltage — the calculator updates automatically, with no button to press.
