How do you connect 2 6 volt batteries in parallel to make 12 volts?

If you connect 2 six volt batteries in parallel it will still give you six volts but it will give you twice the cranking power. To obtain twelve volts from the two six volt batteries they will have to be connected in series.

∙ 12y agoAssuming the voltage of each individual battery is the same as the other battery voltages connected in parallel, then the voltage seen by the load is the same voltage of just one of the batteries.
e.g. one hundred 1.5V batteries connected in parallel has a voltage of simply 1.5V across the load.
Note: It is the current that is then added when batteries are in parallel.
From what I've heard, batteries with different voltages should never be connected in parallel.

∙ 11y agoNothing happens to the current, it remains the same. The capacity is increased as the capacity of said batteries is added together. To increase the flow of current you need an increase in voltage or a decrease in resistance. By connecting the batteries in a series instead of in parallel, Their voltage is added together instead. In this situation the capacities are not added together.

Do two 12 volt 100 amp hour batteries give me 200 amp hours at 24 volt?
No. If you connect two 12 volt batteries in series(positive to negative) to make 24 volts, you will have 100 amp hours. If you connect two 12 volt batteries in parallel(pos to pos, neg to neg) you will stay at 12 volts but have 200 amp hours
How do you install 12 volt lights on 48 volt cart?
If your cart has 4, 12 volt batteries in series to make up the 48 volts, just connect the 12 volt lights across one of the batteries.
How do you wire 6 batteries together to make 9 volts?
It depends on what you want to do with the batteries. They can be connected in series to give you a total of 12 VDC. In a series connection a jumper is required between battery one's negative post to battery number two's positive post. If you want to increase the amp hours delivered at 6VDC they can be connected in parallel. In a parallel connection two jumpers are required. Battery one's negative post to battery two's negative post. Likewise the same procedure with the positive posts.
How many volts does a flashlight need to make it work?
The answer is governed by the size of the flashlight. Count the amount of batteries that go into the flashlight and then multiply by 1.5 and this will give you the voltage of the flashlight. For NiCd and NiMH rechargeable batteries multiply by 1.3 volts.
How much volts can a AA battery supply?
AA zinc and alkaline batteries normally provide 1.5 Volts when they are new. The voltage will drop as the battery discharges. Rechargeable batteries using NiCad or NiMH technology deliver 1.2 Volts when fully charged. Again, the voltage will drop as they discharge. It is this small voltage difference that can make rechargeable batteries less effective for some voltage sensitive applications,
Do two 12 volt 100 amp hour batteries give me 200 amp hours at 24 volt?
No. If you connect two 12 volt batteries in series(positive to negative) to make 24 volts, you will have 100 amp hours. If you connect two 12 volt batteries in parallel(pos to pos, neg to neg) you will stay at 12 volts but have 200 amp hours
If you have four 6 volt batteries with 220 amp hours each and you combine them in series to make 24 volts will the total amp hours then become 880 or remain 220?
it will remain 220. the VOLTS will quadruple, but the storage capacity of the batteries remains the same, whether you connect them in series or in parallel.
Can two 8 volt batteries make 16 volts?
Yes, if you connect the two batteries in series. You will then have 16 volts, but the current will stay the same as if you only had one battery connected.
How do you make a circuit with 3 bulbs 2 switches and and 2 batteries where the 1st switch controls the lighting of all the bulbs and the 2nd switch controls the lighting of the second bulb?
Connect the two batteries for the voltage needed. If they are 12 volt batteries and the lights are 12 volts, connect the batteries in parallel (negative to negative and positive to positive). If they are 12 volt batteries and the lights are 24 volts, connect the batteries in series (negative of one battery to positive of the other). Run a wire from batteries to first switch, then to two of the lights and the other switch (in parallel). From the second switch run a wire to the third light, then connect all three lights back to the battery.
How do you make 2 12 volt batterys 24 volts?
Connect them in series and you will have 24 volts but you will have the same A/H as one of the batteries. Volts double but A/H stay the same.
Is it safe to interconnect 2 - 12 volt batteries together to keep them at 12 volts?
Yes, this is known as a parallel connection. When wired in this configuration you will get double the amp/hours out of the batteries over just using one battery. Batteries connected in series results in the voltages being additive. Batteries in parallel results in longer amp/hour capacity.
How do you use 6 deep cycle batteries to make one 36 volt battery?
Connect three 12 volt batteries in series and you will have 36 volts but will only have the amperage of one of the batteries.
How do you wire four six volt batteries to make twelve volts?
Two in series, two in parallel The link below has a couple of diagrams.
Can you use 3 - 12 volt batteries instead of 6 - 6 volt batteries?
Don't know what your intentions are but the 6 - 6 volt batteries would probably deliver more amps. ======================================= -- If the batteries are connected in series, six 6's are exactly equivalent to three 12's. -- If they're operated in parallel, then the terminal voltage of six 6-volt batteries is still just 6 volts. There's no way to connect 12-volt batteries and make them look like 6-volt units in parallel. It's really important to find out exactly how the original 6-volt batteries are connected in the device. 1). They may be all in parallel, giving an output of 6 volts. 2). They may be all in series, giving an output of 36 volts. 3). They may be connected in three parallel branches of two series units each, for an output of 12 volts. 4). They may be connected in two parallel branches of three series units each, for an output of 18 volts. If you know what you're doing, you can replace them with 12-volt units in cases 2). and 3)., but not in cases 1). or 4).
4 12volt batteries to make 24 volts?
2 batteries are wired in series then these 2 are wired in parallel with the other 2 which should also be wired in series. series is positive to negative and or negative to positive. parallel is pos. to pos. and neg. to neg.
How do I wire 3 batteries to make 24 volts?
That depends on what voltage your batteries are,
Can hook up 12 volt battery inline to charge with other batteries to run radio This is on EZGO golfcart 36 volt system?
It would take 3 batteries of 12 volts each to get 36 volts. You would connect the negative pole to the positive pole. Then you would have 36 volts. Make sure you connect positive to positive and negative to negative on your golf cart. Otherwise, you can ruin everything.
