Can a 1500 mAh battery replace a 1600 mAh battery?

Yup......But only if u connect them in PARALLEL! Connecting them in parallel (e.g. the positive cap from Battery 1 is connected with the positive cap from battery 2.....the negative cap from battery 1 goes with negative cap from battery 2) adds the amperage (voltage remains the same).......Connecting them in SERIES (as in any flashlight the positive cap of battery 1 goes with the negative cap of battery 2 making a "bigger battery" that has the positive cap from battery 2 and negative cap from battery 1...) adds the voltage (the amperage is the same). Note: Use same batteries either parallel or series connection.


What lasts longer a series circuit or a parallel curcuit?

They will both last for the same amount of time. In both situations all of the battery's power is being used, but in parallel, you can separately control the individual loads that you put on the circuit with switches. Hope that helps


What is the difference between parallel circuits and series circuit?

In parallel circuits all positives go to negatives, in series it is positive to positive,negative to negative. The difference example , if 12 vote batteries are in parallel 2 batteries would produce 24 volts, in series you would boost the time required to depleate the battery, but it would stay at 12 volts.


When is it usually desirable to connect cells in series?

In electronics circuits current is common in series circuits and voltage is common across parallel circuits. LEDs in series draw less current, but require more voltage. Total power remains the same until multiple drivers are introduced in a parallel configuration.


Why would it probably take more time to replace a burned out bulb in a string of lights that used a series circuit than in one that uses a parallel circuit?

They will both last for the same amount of time, assuming that the voltage across the individual bulbs is the same in each case. In both situations all of the battery's power Is being used, but In parallel, you can separately control the Individual loads that you put on the circuit with switches.

Why are the batteries of flashlight often arranged in series not in parallel?

Because the cell voltage in series is combined to achieve rated lamp voltage, at the same time ensure sufficient power.


Why are buildings wired using parallel circuits rather than series circuits?

So you don't have to turn on all the lights at the same time.


Did the light bulb light up when the dry cells were connected in parallel?

If dry cells are connected in parallel, they will supply more current to the bulb, which will cause it to glow for a longer period of time, but at the same brightness as if only a single cell were used. When the cells are connected in series, the voltage is increased, which will cause the bulb to burn more brightly. If the voltage is increased past the safe point for the bulb, its life will be shortened and it may burn out rapidly. In series, the voltages add. In parallel, you essentially have a larger cell of the same type (cell as in battery of one).


How can one alternator charge two batteries?

If they are wired in parallel they are both charged at the same time. Basically the two batteries act like one larger battery.


What makes a series circuit better than a parallel circuit for batteries in a flashlight?

Because the cell voltage in series is combined to achieve rated lamp voltage, at the same time ensure sufficient power.

How do you charge two batteries same time?

Use a special charger, such as an RV or boat charger, that has multiple outputs (best). Connect the two batteries in series, and use a 24V charger (ok, if the two batts are exactly the same). Connect the two batteries in parallel and use a standard 12V charger ( worst choice, one battery tends to hog the current, and they receive unequal charges). See the links for a dual-output charger I Googled.


Can two lines be parallel and perpendicular at the same time?

no, because parallel is opposite to perpendicular


What mechanism can be use to save energy?

Mechanical : we can store the energy with help of FLY WHEEL - its attached with same of the machine. But power available based on the weight of the wheel. and we can get the power in short period of time. Electro-chemical : Mostly adapted system in this world the name is called BATTERY. the electrical energy is stored in the form of chemical. But power available based on the capacity (Ah) and charging time of the battery and series and parallel connection
