Connect three 12 volt batteries in series. You will triple the amperage but the volts will remain at 12.

How do I wire 3 batteries to make 24 volts?

That depends on what voltage your batteries are,


How do you wire 3 12 volt batteries to get 24 volts?

You do not need three 12 volt batteries to get 24 volts, all you need is two batteries. So I assume by using three batteries you want to increase the amperage. Wire two of the batteries in series and then wire the third battery to the second battery in parallel and you will have 24 bolts. Or you can just wire two 12 V batteries in series to get 24 V.


How do you wire 3 12 volt batteries to get 24 volts how to connect the wire?

Wire two of the 12 volt batteries in series and the third battery in parallel with the other two. As the two batteries wired in series will give you 24 volts but the amps of only one of the batteries, unless you need the extra amperage of that third battery I would just go with two batteries wired in series. But if you want to use three batteries then connect the positive from one battery to the negative of the other battery. This will give you 24 volts. Now just connect the negative of the third battery to the negative of the first battery connected in series with the second battery. Now connect the positive to the second battery to the positive of the third battery. You will now still have 24 volts but twice the amperage of one of the batteries.


Can you jump 2 6volt batteries with a 12 volt battery to get 24 volts?

Yes connect all 3 batteries in series. 6+6+12=24 volts.


What is a 3 volt battery?

A 3 volt battery is a battery that produces 3 volts. Many watch batteries produce 3 volts.


How do you wire 3 batteries together to make 36 volts?

Take 3 twelve volt batteries Run the + of battery #1 to the - of battery #2. Run the + of battery #2 to the - of battery #3. Use the + of battery #3 for your positive feed, and the - of battery #1 for your ground.


How do you wire 2 batteries together to make 24 volts?

Do you mean 2 x 12 volt batteries? If so:Wire 1st battery's + to load, wire it's - to the + of the 2nd battery.Wire 2nd battery's - to the other side of the load.**********************************************There are two basic ways to wire multiple batteries together, in "Parallel" or in "Series".PARALLELWiring two batteries which have the same output voltage in "Parallel", the output voltage of the combination stays the same but the amp/hour capacity of the combination is equal to the sum of their individual amp/hour capacities.Wiring: Battery 1 Positive to Battery 2 Positive and Battery 1 Negative to Battery 2 Negative is Parallel wiring, retaining the voltage rating of either one of the batteries.WARNINGIt is not a good idea to wire two batteries which have different voltage ratings in parallel because the one with the higher voltage will immediately send current to the other one with the lower voltage to try to make their voltages both the same. The very high current which will flow between the two batteries is likely to make the batteries get very hot. IF THEY ARE CAR BATTERIES THEY COULD EXPLODE!SERIESWiring two batteries which have the same output voltage in "Series" makes their combined output voltage equal to the sum of their individual voltages but the amp/hour capacity of the combination will be no greater than the amp/hour capacity of the smallest battery of the two.Wiring: Bat 1 Positive to Load, and Bat 1 Negative to Bat 2 Positive, then Bat 2 Negative to the other side of the Load is Series wiring and the total voltage of the combined batteries is the sum of both individual voltage ratings.So, assuming you want to get 24 volts out of two similar batteries, you could wire two 12 volt batteries in series.NEVER OPERATE A 12 VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM as in CARS or most BOATS with 24 VOLTS. YOU WILL BURN UP YOUR COMPONENTS AND SOME WIRING.Common Flashlights are simple examples of series wiring. Flashlight batteries are usually 1.5 volts whether they are AAA, AA, C or D size. So flashlights with with 1 battery are operating at 1.5 volts, 2 batteries are 3 volts, 3 batteries are 4.5 volts, etc.


How do you make a circuit with 3 bulbs 2 switches and and 2 batteries where the 1st switch controls the lighting of all the bulbs and the 2nd switch controls the lighting of the second bulb?

Connect the two batteries for the voltage needed. If they are 12 volt batteries and the lights are 12 volts, connect the batteries in parallel (negative to negative and positive to positive). If they are 12 volt batteries and the lights are 24 volts, connect the batteries in series (negative of one battery to positive of the other). Run a wire from batteries to first switch, then to two of the lights and the other switch (in parallel). From the second switch run a wire to the third light, then connect all three lights back to the battery.


How much volts can you run thur 6-3 uf wire?

600 Volts


How you get 27 volts grom 3 separate 9 volts batteries?

Connect the three batteries in series:[POSITIVE]-[battery #1]-[neg]-------[pos]-[battery #2]-[neg]-------[pos]-[battery #3]-[NEGATIVE]You'll have 27 volts between [POSITIVE] and [NEGATIVE].


What gauge wire can I use to convert 3 AA batteries?

AA batteries are probably used for a current of less than 1 amp so thin wire is fine, 0.5 mm-sqd or #24 wire would be ok.
