If you have four 6 volt batteries with 220 amp hours each and you combine them in series to make 24 volts will the total amp hours then become 880 or remain 220?
Eluvaas
it will remain 220. the VOLTS will quadruple, but the storage capacity of the batteries remains the same, whether you connect them in series or in parallel.

What might happen to the bulb if you added too many extra batteries to the circuit?
If you added the batteries in parallel, then the bulb would stay on for a long time and nobody would get any sleep. If you added the batteries in series, then the voltage across the bulb would eventually become excessive and the bulb would burn out.
What is the difference between hooking up a 1.5v batteries in parallel and in series?
there is none
A circuit contains two 1.5 volt batteries and a bulb with resistance of 3 ohms calculate the current?
If the batteries are placed in series then your current would be 1 amp, if the batteries were in parallel then 0.5 amps. Voltage is common in parallel and additive in series. 1.5v + 1.5v = 3v (series) / 3 ohms = 1amp 1.5v (parallel) / 3 ohms = 0.5amps Current = Voltage divided by Resistance
What might happen to a bulb if you added too many extra batteries to the circuit?
If you added more batteries in parallel, then the bulb would shine for a long time. If you added more batteries in series, then the bulb would burn very brightly for a short time and then 'burn out'.
Why are the batteries of flashlight often arranged in series not in parallel?
Because the cell voltage in series is combined to achieve rated lamp voltage, at the same time ensure sufficient power.
How do you wire 3 batteries to get 24 volts?
Connect three 12 volt batteries in series. You will triple the amperage but the volts will remain at 12. Click the link
What is the effect of a series circuit?
multiplies source voltage, two 12v dc batteries in series become a 24v circuit; also multiplies resistence
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.
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.
Will an electromagnet be stronger with 2 batteries wired in series or parallel?
Normally putting the batteries in series would have more effect.
You want to take 25ams output you are having 16 Nos of 12V 8Ah batteries do you have to connect batteries in series of parallel connection?
Parallel or Series Connections for BatteriesTo increase current [measured in Amperes], you connect batteries in parallel. To increase voltage, you connect batteries in series.
How do you hook up 8 volt batteries in series?
How to hook up 6 8v batteries in searise <><><> Batteries connected in series have the negative (-) of one connected to the positive (+) of the next, until all 6 batteries are connected.
Can you connect batteries in series and parallel?
Yes, series and parallel connection of batteries is possible. When connected in series Voltage increases. In parallel, Current increases but voltage is constant.
How do you get 24 volts from 2 batteries not in series?
Two 24 volt batteries in parallel will give you 24 volts. The only other way is two 12 volt batteries in series.
Why would you add batteries in series?
Putting batteries in series will up the voltage of the entire circuit. Certain things need higher voltage, so you put your batteries in series. Putting batteries in parallel will not up the voltage, but will let the current last longer. Watches would be more of an example for that. You want watch batteries to last long.
What is two batteries in a circuit called?
If the batteries are connected from + (positive) to - (negative) then the batteries are connected in "series". If the batteries are AA (1.5v each), then the resulting voltage of the two connected in series will be 3.0v. If the batteries are connected + to + and - to -, then they are connected in "parallel" and for the same batteries the voltage would be 1.5v, but would last twice as long as one battery by itself. A truck battery system is two 12v batteries connected in series (+ to -) to give the truck a running power of 24v.
How many batteries needed in a series circuit?
It depends on the load and desired voltage. The voltage adds as you put batteries in series. Positive to negative, etc.
