The way in which individual cells in parallel connected multicell modules charge and discharge is a complex function of the battery type and chemistry, energy capacity, applied source/load, interconnection resistance, relative cell internal impedance, temperature distribution, cooling mechanism, and relative location of the individual cells within the parallel configuration.
Wiring configuration involves the method used to connect the battery to multiple circuits, mainly either in series or parallel. Series connections increase voltage, while parallel connections maintain voltage but increase current capacity. Each method has its advantages, depending on how power needs to be distributed.

In an electric vehicle, a large number of lithium-ion cells are connected in parallel. While cells in parallel increase the reliability of the battery pack, it increases the probability of current imbalance between the parallel branches, thus ageing gradient. The current peak in a cell also can exceed the maximum charge current capability of the cell; leading to lithium plating,
Your system with 4 100Ah batteries in parallel can be treated as a single 400Ah battery. Your charge/discharge currents will split evenly between each battery, so if you are pulling 200A for the inverter, each battery BMS only passes 50A. The trick here is to stay away

Calculating runtime for parallel batteries is easy. Divide total capacity (Amp-hours) by current draw (Amps). For instance, two 12V 100Ah batteries in parallel offer 200Ah. With a 20 Amp draw, runtime is about 10 hours (200Ah / 20A = 10 hours). Understanding parallel battery connections helps you increase capacity and runtime. This improves

This is why shorting the positive to negative leads of a battery ends in disaster. In parallel connected lipos, rated current draw should be the same, or at least rated to handle the load. If you''re using a power system that draws 60 amps, you want both parallel connected batteries to be capable of delivering that current.
Two 12V batteries, each with with 120Ah capacity, connected in parallel will provide 240 Ah of storage capacity at 12V. The continuous current (continuous discharge) available from batteries connected in parallel will also be increased. Alternatively, two 12V batteries can be connected ''in seres'' (end to end) to increase voltage to 24V.
MY own personal rule is two batteries, 150% current of one battery. So with two batteries each capable of 100 amps, with 2 in parallel, you can pull 150 amps, so even if there is a 50 amp difference, the high battery is only at 100 amps, and the low one is providing the other 50 amps. Go to 4 batteries, and now you should be safe pushing 225%.
