A group of ten (10) batteries composed of 6 Volt and 12 Volt types will have six (6) each, 6 Volt and four (4) each 12 Volt batteries. The contributing voltages will be 6x6 and 12x4 for a total of 84 Volts.

When a device uses two batteries why do they have to be placed positive to negative?
Batteries placed in series (which is what you're describing) add their voltages together. Thus two 1.5 volt batteries give 3 volts in series ... IF they point in the same direction. If they point in opposite directions, you get zero volts.
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.
HOW MANY VOLTS ARE IN THE BATTERIES WE HAVE USED?
The small batteries (dry cells) used for many electronic devices usually have approximately 1.5 volts. Car batteries (which have several cells working in series) usually have around 12 volts. Other batteries may have other voltages.
If you have two 1.5-V batteries and they have the positive terminal of one batery connected with the negative terminal of another how does that voltage compare with the voltage of a single battery?
Connecting batteries + to - is said to be connecting them in series. The voltage from two batteries in series will be additave. So two 1.5 volt batteries in series will give you 3.0 volts.
Can you run your 24 volt trolling motor on 12 volts?
step up trasnsformer <<>> As suggested above transformers do not work on DC installations. You will need to use two 12 VDC batteries in series with each other to obtain the 24 VDC needed to operate the motor. Connect a jumper between the two batteries with a wire the same size as the wire coming from the motor. The jumper will go from the negative of one battery to the positive of the second battery. The two remaining posts will connect to the motor and have a potential of 24 VDC.
Addition of batteries increase the total voltage?
Yes.If you connect the batteries in series the total voltage will be the sum of the voltages of the batteries.For example if you connect a 12 volt battery in series with a 6 volt battery the total voltage will be 18 volts.
Why are batteries sometimes joined in series?
Batteries are connected in series to add their voltages together. For example, two car batteries in series will give twenty four volts.
What is the volts when 1.5v. batteries are wired in series as the total source.?
All batteries connected in series have additive voltages. All same voltage batteries connected in parallel have the same voltage as one of the parallel battery but their amp hour capacity is increased. Example series wound batteries of four 1.5v batteries, would lite a big 6v flashlight. (all 1.5v batteries = Et= 1.5v x4=6volts). That is the big square battery to lite square flashlights.

What is parallel car battery wiring?
parallel battery wiring is hooking 2 batteries together in parallel series give you double the volts Clarification: Parallel battery wiring is where two or more batteries are hooked together in parallel (i.e. both/all positive battery terminals are wiredtogether, and both/all negative battery terminals are wired together. This results in a battery voltage which is the same as that of the individual batteries (typically 12V in most cars). The reason for doing this is to boost battery capacity- two identical batteries wired in parallel give twice the electical storage capacity of one battery. No increase in voltage is obtained with parallel wiring. Series wiring is where two or more batteries are hooked together in series (i.e. positive terminal of the first battery is hooked to the negative terminal of the second battery). The resulting voltage is the sum of the individual battery voltages - if two 12V batteries are hooked together, the resulting voltage will be 24V. No increase of storage capacity is obtained with series wiring.
How do you wire three 12 volt batteries to get 36 volts?
The batteries need to be wired in a series configuration. Wire the negative of the first battery to the positive of the second battery, and the negative of the second to the positive to the third. If the batteries were placed in a straight line they will look like train cars, with all positive ends of the batteries pointing in the same direction. The batteries voltages are now added together for three 12 volt batteries making 36 volts.
What is the voltage of 6 AA batteries?
The voltage of 6 AA batteries connected in series is 9 volts. Each AA battery typically provides 1.5 volts, so when connected in series, their voltages add up.
Can you wire batteries of different voltages in series to obtain a specific voltage?
Yes you can. Though it is not recommended as it usually shortens the life of one of the batteries used.
What would happen if you added another battery to a simple circuit of two wires a battery and a bulb?
SERIES: A. If the additional battery is added to the circuit in a "Series Aiding" configuration, the bulb would get brighter. However, it would probably burn out very shortly, if not immediately, depending on the power rating of the bulb. Flashlight batteries such as two and three cell flashlights are usually series aiding. B. If the additional battery is added to the circuit in a "Series Opposing" configuration, the intensity of the bulb would decrease or go out completely if the opposing voltages are equal. (you can do a little experiment with a three or four cell flashlight by reversing the polarity of one or more of the batteries. The reversed battery will be series opposing and cancel 1.5 volts of the other batteries.) PARALLEL: If batteries are added to the circuit in parallel, the intensity of the bulb would remain the same but the batteries would last longer. Be sure the battery voltages are the same when adding batteries in parallel.
How do you wire 3 12 volt batteries to get 24 volts how to connect the wire?
Wire two of the 12 volt batteries in series and the third battery in parallel with the other two. As the two batteries wired in series will give you 24 volts but the amps of only one of the batteries, unless you need the extra amperage of that third battery I would just go with two batteries wired in series. But if you want to use three batteries then connect the positive from one battery to the negative of the other battery. This will give you 24 volts. Now just connect the negative of the third battery to the negative of the first battery connected in series with the second battery. Now connect the positive to the second battery to the positive of the third battery. You will now still have 24 volts but twice the amperage of one of the batteries.
Does the number of batteries affect the speed of a motor?
If they are connected in series the voltages will add and, theoretically, proportionally speed up the motor.
Is it practical to connect batteries of different emfs in series?
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).
