Under load, take your voltage meter and read from the first battery - terminal to each successive + terminal. Each increase in voltage should be the same for each battery. Anything off by more than .3 volt is starting to deteriorate and should be reconditioned.
0- ____ +6.2 -____+12.4 -____+18.6 -____+24.5-____+30.2-____+36.4
.....#1 ..............#2 .............#3 ...............#4 .............#5...............#6
Battery 4 is marginal, Battery 5 should be reconditioned.
Of course, the difference should be less for smaller voltage batteries and no more than .5 volts for 12 volt batteries. These are just numbers I have come up with empirically. Someone else may have a better reference for the allowable voltage difference between batteries in series.

Will an electromagnet be stronger with 2 batteries wired in series or parallel?
Normally putting the batteries in series would have more effect.
4 12volt batteries to make 24 volts?
2 batteries are wired in series then these 2 are wired in parallel with the other 2 which should also be wired in series. series is positive to negative and or negative to positive. parallel is pos. to pos. and neg. to neg.
How much voltage is provided by 3 AA batteries if the batteries are wired in paraell series?
Wired in parallel you will have 1.5 volts just like you have 1 battery. Wired in series you will have 4.5 volts. In parellel the amperage will triple but the volts stay the same.
If batteries are wired in a series-parallel configuration?
You get more voltage and current capacity.
How do you change a golf cart battery wired in series?
I think they mean "How do you charge a golf cart battery wired in series?" If you only have a 12 volt charger disconnect the batteries and charge individually. Wired in series you double the voltage, two 12 v batteries equal 24 v, three equals 36, four batteries equal 48v. Unless you have a charger that will charge the total voltage you have to charge each battery.
Can 3 of four batteries be wired up in series and 1 in parallel. Will this setup drain the parallel battery?
No it will impose the voltage of the three series batteries across the terminals of the paralleled battery. Batteries can only be parallel when all of the voltage potentials are near equal.
Will 3 12volt batteries wired in series provide the same results as 6 6volt batteries?
Depends on the amperage of the batteries you are using. Both setups will give you 36 volts, but you will normally have a longer run time with six 6 volt batteries in series than three 12 volt batteries. That is why golf carts use 6 volt instead of 12 volt batteries.
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.

Do gamecube controllers have internal batteries?
Gamecube controllers that are licensed by Nintendo are wired and do not have batteries
Can you use a 12 volt battery charger to charge two 12 volt batteries that are wired in series that has 24 volts?
No, but you can charge each one individually without separating them from the series loop.
How do you charge two 12 volt batteries with a 24 volt charger?
The two batteries can be wired in series BUT unless they are identical batteries in an identical state of charge they should be checked regularly to see if one of them is fully charged (the voltage has risen to 14.5 volts).
