Yesa Battery ,Is it possible to connect them in series?

[QUARTU]

Hi ,excuse me but are not practical electricity!
I buyed two LiFePO4 24V and 10Ah Yesa battery. Is it possible to connect them in series? How can I do that? When I receive them, should I charge them for 24 hours or are them already full charged?Thanks.

They charge from 0% to full in less than 8 hours.

When I received mine I think it was at 80% or 90% of full charge.

I read on the YESA website that it's OK to connect their batteries in series but it's not recommended to connect them in parallel.

To connect in series, you will want to understand what series and parallel are:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_circuits

And it's helpful to know how to solder - reading online instructions AND watching videos that show how to solder (like the ones on YouTube) is helpful.

At 24v each, it should not be a problem.

To be really safe, it would be a good idea to put diodes across them anyway.

Yes, I would recommend charging them first before using.

Actually, I think the latest versions of the 36V YESA packs can be put in series, and in parallel, with no issues. According to dirtdad, the specs on the BMS boards they use now are much more robust.
