    Hi everyone.

    I'm just kinda curious here.

    I would want to know what the benefits are, employing either techniques in discharging/recharging of battery modules, when reconditioning a pack.

    I do understand that reconditioning the pack using serial technique, increases voltage necessary to operate the electric motors, and so on; while a parallel technique increases the current capacity of the pack, when done with supervision, because of bulging of modules.

    Can I rebuild my battery pack using both techniques to boost both voltage and current capacity?

    Thanks for the help!
