A 12 volt automotive battery has six cells.
By the number of cells. A 12 V battery should consist of 6 cells, each providing about 2 volts. A 12 V battery should consist of 6 cells.
The familiar 1.5-volt zinc-carbon AAA, AA, C, and D cells, and the familiar 1.2-volt alkalines in the same sizes, are each a single cell.
A 6 volt wet battery has 3 cells. A 6 volt dry battery has 4 cells.
It depends on what the 6 cells are, but the battery voltage is just 6 times the cell voltage. In a car battery (lead-acid cells) - 12V In a dry-battery (zinc-carbon cells) - 9V
6 cells, each one 1.5 volts :D
AnswerAccording to WikiPedia (http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_battery), the nominal cell voltage of a Lead Acid wet-cell battery is 2.1 volts, this implies there are 6 cells in a 12 volt Lead Acid wet-cell battery.
You cannot make a 6 volt battery into a 12 volt batter, but you can make a 12 volt battery out of two 6 volt batteries. Connect two 6 volts batteries together in series and you have 12 volts. Please define "in series".
Depends on the number of cells, and the cell chemistry.
Measure the voltage at the battery posts with a volt meter. 6-volt batteries are generally approximately 10 inches in length, 7 inches in width and 11 to 17 inches in height. Or count the cells. A 6V car battery should consist of three sections AKA cells, while a 12V battery will consist of six sections. These are usually visible from outside, either throught the casting of the casing or sometimes even through the location of the filler caps.
6 @ 1.5v each The 9 volt battery is a true battery, containing six cells of 1.5 volts each. Most storage devices that we call batteries(i.e. D-cell, AA-cell, AAA-cell) are not batteries, but cells.
No! You need fewer cells for six volts. Most 9 volt batteries have six 1.5 volt cells, but a six volt battery has four 1.5 volt cells. In theory you could open the battery up and install a tap at the fourth cell, but that is pretty hard to do.
Twelve volt batteries contain a series of 6 cells in the series.
