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.

How are circuits connected when you are using more than one battery?
The batteries can be connected in parallel or in series. In parallel, good batteries of the same voltage will have a total voltage across them equal to the voltage across one of them. Those batteries in series will have a total voltage equal to the sum of the voltage of each of the batteries.
What happens to the voltage if batteries if they are setup in a parallel and a series circuit?
Assuming all of the individual batteries are the same voltage, if arranged in a parallel circuit the voltage is the same as any one battery. If arranged in a series circuit the voltage will be the sum (the total) of all of the batteries added together.
How many batteries does it take to burnout a light bulb?
Enough so that the total voltage exceeds the voltage rating of the lightbulb.
How many volts do 3 AA batteries supply?
A single AA battery will produce 1.5 volts. In series the voltage is additive. In parallel the voltage remains the same but the batteries total capacity is increased.
How do you connect two batteries to work as one?
Type your answer here... To use two batteries as a single power source, you have to connect the positive to the negative and the remaining negative to ground. The remaining positive goes to the red positive cable. The batteries are now in a series circuit. If you use two 6 volt batteries the total voltage is 12 volts. If you use 2 12 volt batteries the total voltage is 24 volts. If you hook the batteries both negative to negative and positive to positive you have made a parallel circuit. Batteries in a parallel circuit cancel each other out. Two 6 volt batteries in parallel have a total voltage of 0 volts. klb
Do two c batteries increase the strength compared to one c battery?
yes they increase the total power if you using them together. if you add two 12 V dc battery in parallel than equivalent Voltage is 12 volt but effective current will become double. if you add them in series than voltage will become 24 V but current will not increase remain same. Hence it is increasing power by increasing voltage or current.
If two 3 volt batteries push together in the same direction then the total voltage is?
The total votage would be 6 Volts
What would be the total voltage in a circuit that has two 6 volt batteries connected in series?
4 amperes. The voltage adds when batteries are connected in series. If they are the same voltage then the voltage doubles. Using Ohm's law: V = I*R with the voltage doubling and resistance being the same you get I = 2V/R and where V/R was your initial current you get I = 2*2ampers = 4 ampreres
How many joules in 70 9 volt batteries in series?
This is about the question I wanted answered; maybe I can point you in the right direction. The answer is more than the sum of 70 batteries as putting them in series increases the voltage and increases the total energy of the system. My question is where does the increase of energy actually come from?
What is the voltage when batteries are connected in parallel?
When batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage remains the same as the voltage of a single battery. This is because the positive terminals are connected together and the negative terminals are connected together, so the voltage across each battery remains constant.
What is the total voltage if 12v 6v and 2.5v batteries are connected in parallel?
Don't try it in real life -- the batteries will become extremely hot and catch fire. Theoretically, the circuit is not allowed -- fundamentally impossible. Each battery can be thought of as a voltage source in series with a variable resistance (the internal resistance of the battery). If you connect these in parallel, the 12 volt battery will attempt to bring the parallel voltage up to 12 volts. To do so, it will push current out to the other two batteries. The other two batteries will supply their respective voltage to try to counteract this. They will begin to heat up; As the 12 volt battery supplies current above what it is designed to provide, its' internal resistance will increase, causing an increased voltage drop inside the battery (causing more heating in the 12 volt battery), which causes the 12 volts it is trying to push out to drop to closer to the other batteries voltages. the 2.5 and 6 volt batteries' internal resistances will also increase as they accept the current from the 12 volt battery, allowing the parallel voltage to increase to closer to what the 12 volt battery wants. This will continue until only one battery survives, most likely.
What are synonyms of addition?
accession, total, sum, increase, increment, in all, altogether, plus and +
