How would you connect two 12volt batteries together to get 24volts?
Connect them in Series and you will get 24 volts but the amperage will be the same as 1 battery.
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.
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.
Do batteries that are arranged in series produce a higher voltage than batteries arranged in parallel?
Batteries in parallel maintain constant voltage across the load rather in a series, so it is better to arrange the batteries in parallel Batteries in series deliver a higher voltage, batteries in parallel have longer life use.
Can you parallel 4 sets of 6 volt batteries to get 12volts at the same time having the same batteries in series for a 48 volt laod?
Paralleling four sets of 6 volt batteries will still give you 6 volts. Two 6 volt batteries in series will give you 12 volts. Parallel these series sets will give you longer endurance at 12 volts. There is no way you will ever get 48 volts out of four 6 volt batteries.
Can you operate a 12volt devise from 2 12 volt batteries hooked inseries?
NO. Absolutely not, you must hook them in parallel. Two 12 volt batteries hooked in series will give you 24 volts with the same A/H of one of the batteries. Hook them in parallel and you will still have 12 volts and double the A/H of one of the batteries.
Can you replace a 12volt alternator with a 24volt alternator?
You can if you plan to convert all of your electrical system, starter, lights, gauges and accessories to 24 also. And change your battery to 2 batteries connected in series. Why would you want to??
Why are batteries sometimes joined in series?
Batteries are connected in series to add their voltages together. For example, two car batteries in series will give twenty four volts.
Can you use a 12volt car battery charger to charge a 18volt cordless drill battery?
I'm actually charging my 12V sealed lead acid battery with a laptop adapter which output is 19V, 2.1A. I'm not sure this will shorted the life of my battery or not, but the battery hold the charge. I don't have a voltmeter to test the voltage, but the battery can light up a 12V car headlight light bull. So, I guess it work.
How do I hook tWO six volt batteries together to get 12volts?
Connect them in series. With the 2 batteries sitting side by side just connect the negative terminal (-) on battery # 1 to the positive terminal (+) of battery # 2. Now connect the red hot cable to the positive terminal of battery # 1. Then connect the negative black cable to battery #2. You will have 12 volts but the amperage of only 1 battery.
Will an electromagnet be stronger with 2 batteries wired in series or parallel?
Normally putting the batteries in series would have more effect.
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.
