If the car is a 12 volt system, then you will want to connect the batteries in "parallel". IE: negative to negative and positive to positive. Because of "cranking amps" it would be advisable to use a cutoff switch when starting the car. (The switch would interrupt the power from one of the batteries so the amperage wouldn't toast the starter) Also, the alternator should be isolated as to charge the batteries one at a time.

Can you connect two 24v batteries to get 48v on a kids electric car?
Yes, connect them in series.
How do I connect a twelve volt car battery to two six volt batteries connected in a series?
connect the 2 six-volt batteries together one terminal each positive to negitive, this will make a 12-volt combination, then you can connect the jumper cables, one side to the 12-volt battery and one side to the two 6-volt terminals, + & -
How do jumper cables work?
Quite simply. They just connect between the two car batteries (always + to + and - to -) and allow one car's electrical components to draw electricity from the other's battery.
Will two 6v batteries make your sons ride on work faster than one 6v battery?
If the machine is designed to run on 6v and you use two 6v batteries instead of one, then . . . -- If you connect the two batteries in parallel, then they will last twice as long between recharges as one battery does. -- If you connect the batteries in series, then they will definitely overheat the motor, and possibly destroy it.
How do you connect neon lights to two 6v batteries?
you want to wire the batteries in series...connect negative of one battery to positive of the other. You then use the two remaining terminals as youe - and + 12v source
What would cause a car battery to explode?
If you incorrectly connect two car batteries together, i. e. by crossing the cables (negative to positive, positive to negative), one or both of the car batteries will soon explode. The resulting acid splash will cause severe burns to the nearby onlookers.
How can you wire 4-12 VDC batteries together to get 24 VDC out of them?
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).
How to connect 4 - 6V batteries for -12V system?
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.
How do you shorten batteries?
connect its two terminals with a wire.
When a car has two batteries how do you connect the second one?
You conect them in parelell. Positive to positive, negative to negative, with either a 12 or 6 volt system. if you conect them in series you will double the voltage.
To increase the voltage output when using more than one battery connect the two batteries in?
Series.
Can two 8 volt batteries make 16 volts?
Yes, if you connect the two batteries in series. You will then have 16 volts, but the current will stay the same as if you only had one battery connected.
