The voltage adds if you connect in series (positive to negative). It stays the same if in parallel (Positive to Positive and Negative to Negative).

Why does the lemon provide the most voltage in a citrus power battery?

Why does a battery charger produces a higher voltage than the battery being charged?

Battery chargers generally operate at the same voltage as the voltage as the battery they are charging. They usually vary the amperage they feed into the battery to recharge it. A trickle charger usually only feeds a few amps into a battery to recharge it slowly over time. A fast charger feeds more amps for less time to bring the battery to full charge faster. Automotive alternators are the only charging systems that I am familiar with that generate more voltage than the battery they are charging. That's because they have to run the car AND recharge the battery at the same time. Car alternators can vary their amperage and voltage outputs to allow for the varying demands of the car and all of it's electrical devices and recharge the battery as needed.


Can a 0.9V 400MA solar panel be used to charge 2 AA batteries?

To charge a battery, the charger voltage must be higher than the battery voltage. If a AA battery (or any other) has a normal voltage of 1.2V the charger voltage must be at least 1.2V. The type of voltage supply and its current capability is immaterial. No, the charging voltage have to be larger than the battery voltage, to charge 2 AA batteries, that is 3 volt if connected in series, so a voltage of at least 4 volt is needed


Does the voltage output increase when a generator is made to spin faster?

You would have to apply a higher voltage from outside - for example, in the case of DC, connect a battery that provides more voltage, or connect more than one battery in series; or in the case of AC, use a transformer to increase the voltage.


A red resistor draws more current than a blue resistor when they are connected to the same battery which resistor has the lower resistance?

The voltage of a battery goes as the current times the resistance (V=IR). Because the voltage is being held constant, the resistor that draws the most current will have the lower resistance.

Why some time the terminal voltage of a battery increases more than its rating?

When the alternator starts charging the battery voltage will increase about two volts to charge the battery.

Can the terminal voltage of a battery be larger than its emf?

the voltage of a battery could be larger than the emf if you are to charge the battery, in that case V=E+Ir .


How many watts solar panel do you need to charge 12v battery?

To charge any battery the voltage of the input must be more than the battery's output.


Can a 12v solar panel charge a 12v battery?

If the 12 volt solar panel output voltage is always higher than the 6.5 watt battery voltage. To charge a battery, a voltage greater than the battery must be applied to the battery, otherwise the battery will try to charge the charger.


How do you test voltage regulator on motorcycle?

Check the battery voltage, bike not running. Start the bike (crank the rpm's up a little), voltage should be a couple of volts more than battery voltage. Check both voltage (running and not running) at battery terminals. Charge voltage isn't all though, if it doesn't stop charging when it should it will boil the battery dry. If you are having this symptom, it's for sure the regulator

Battery does not hold charge why xt600e?

The battery might be bad, or your alternator might also be bad. Use a battery load tester or digital voltmeter to see if your alternator is charging the battery? The voltage should be no more than 13.8 volts while the vehicle is running. If it's higher, your voltage regulator is bad, and if it's not much more than the regular voltage of the 12 volt battery itself, the alternator is not doing it's job, and needs to be replaced. Good luck.
