Paralleling 3 batteries in a balanced setup

Would like to open a discussion on paralleling 3 batteries in a balanced method. There seems to be only one option that is mentioned on the forum. I have suggested a second method that may be easier in some applications. Seems that I'm the only one that thinks it will work.

Would like comments from people that understand such things, not just repeating what they hear on the forum. Will it work? Is it the same as the other method? Is it a better method?

Standard method:




Other method:

  • I thought that the "best" would be to hook all +s to a large buss bar with as short a cable as possible of equal lengths and do the same for the -s. your first diagram seems to mimic that. don't know what advantage your second diagram gives other than makes it look more complex.
