Science Behind Lithium-ion Batteries in Series vs Parallel
In a parallel connection, the voltage remains constant while the capacity adds up. For instance, if you connect two 3.7V batteries with 3000mAh each in parallel, you will have a total capacity of 6000mAh at 3.7V. One key advantage of parallel connections is redundancy and reliability. If one battery fails or loses capacity over time,
Modeling and state of charge estimation of inconsistent parallel lithium-ion battery
Parallel battery pack (PBP) is an important unit for its application in electric vehicles and energy storage, and precise state of charge (SOC) is the basic parameter for battery efficient operation.

Why connect cells in parallel?
1. If you wanna increase current capacity or current, connect cells in parallel. If you wanna increase voltage, connect cells in series. for example: you have two cells each with 1.5V, 1A rating, so: If you have concern with increasing voltage, connect cells in series hence getting a battery of rating 3V, 1A.
