Yes, series and parallel connection of batteries is possible.
When connected in series Voltage increases.
In parallel, Current increases but voltage is constant.
Parallel or Series Connections for BatteriesTo increase current [measured in Amperes], you connect batteries in parallel. To increase voltage, you connect batteries in series.
You would connect two 12-v batteries in series to get 24 Volts, but if you have four, you can connect two sets of batteries in parallel and then connect the two sets of parallel batteries in series, giving you 24 volts with twice the ampere-hour capacity (four batteries rather than two).
Connect 2 of the 6 volt batteries in parallel and then connect the other 2 in parallel. Now connect those 2 pair in series to each other. You will now have a total of 12 volts with four 6 volt batteries connected in parallel/series. Click the link.
A series circuit will produce more voltage. For example, two 12 volt automotive batteries both have a 600 amp capacity. Connect the 2 batteries in series and you will have 24 volts with 600 amp capacity. Connect the 2 batteries in parallel and you will have 12 volts with 1200 amp capacity.
Connect two 6 volt batteries in series. Connect the other two 6 volt batteries in series. Now connect those 2 pairs you have together in parallel. You will end up with 12 volts.
In order to connect 4-6 volt batteries and end up with 12volts you will need to understand parallel and series connections. to connect two batteries in parallel you would connect the positive side of one battery to the positive side of the other battery; and the negative side of one battery to the negative of the other battery. doing this will not change the voltage. to connect in series you connect the positive of one battery to the negative of the other battery. doing this will increase the voltage;in this example you will end up with 12v. 6+6=12. when you stack batteries in a 2-cell flashlight that is connecting the batteries in series. The answer to the question is: connect two batteries in series; then connect the other two batteries in series. after this is done connect the two pairs of batteries in parallel. If you think of it visually you would have two batteries wide and two batteries tall.
You can connect batteries with different voltages in series (a 6 volt and a 12 volt would give you 18 volts), but never in parallel (difference of potential will create an arc, batteries could blow up).
Batteries in parallel maintain constant voltage across the load rather in a series, so it is better to arrange the batteries in parallel Batteries in series deliver a higher voltage, batteries in parallel have longer life use.
You will have a 12 Volt source with double the charge capacity.
-- If all 8 batteries have the same rated voltage as the inverter input, then they must be configured in parallel. -- If the batteries are not rated the same voltage as the inverter input, then some combination of series and parallel has to be designed. The specific configuration depends on the details of the batteries you have.
If you connect them in series it will result in an 18V battery. If you connect them in parallel you will have a 6V battery with more capacity than one alone.
