depends on the voltage of the batteries..

four 12 volt car batteries would output 4x12 = 48 v

Can you change eight 6 volt batteries for four 12 volts in a golf cart and is it worth it?

That would depend how they are connected. Are all Eight 6 volt batteries connected in series giving a total output voltage of 48V. Or are they connected with 2 sets of 4 batteries in parallel then connected in series to give a 24V output.


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.


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.

Four 9-volt batteries are connected in parallel how much voltage is active across the circuit?

Four 9v batteries connected in a parallel will still emit 9 volts because you are not increasing the voltage, you are increasing the life. To increase the voltage of four 9v batteries, you must connect them in a series; that series will emit 9v X 4(batteries), which equals 36 volts.


Four alkaline AAA batteries what is the voltage?

6v


What is the voltage output of 4 AA batteries?

An AA battery is nominally 1.5 volts, so if the four batteries are wired in series (+ of one to - of the next), the voltage is nominally 6 volts. However, the batteries could also be wired in parallel, with all four positive terminals connected together and all four negative terminals connected together. Then the voltage would be 1.5 volts. To make it even more complicated, you could also wire two pairs, with each battery wired in series to its twin, but with the two pairs wired in parallel to each other. Then the voltage is 3.0 volts.


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.


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.


How many volts is a semi truck battery?

They're 12 volt systems, typically with four batteries wired in parallel, rather than series - this keeps the voltage at 12v, while making available the full amperage of all of the batteries.


How much voltage is 4 9 volt batteries?

> 36 volts. > Originally answered by Contributor This is a trick question correct right??? Is the question how many volts are four, 9 volt batteries or is it how many volts are in a 49 volt battery(if it exists)? Four nominally rated 9 volt batteries wired in series would yield about 36 volts while the same four wired in parallel would provide ~4 times more current or last about 4 times longer in the same circuit. The battery rating shown on the battery is a nominal voltage the actual voltage output of the battery can be higher or lower. First different technology batteries actually produce physically different output voltages. ie: a battery is made of cells and dependent on the type of chemistry the cell is made from the actual per cell output can very from 1.2 volts up. Batteries made with Lead plates surrounded in Sulfuric Acid (typical car batteries) can produce 2.0 volts per cell (measured open circuit). Lap top Batteries can be about 3.6 - 3.7 volts per cell while alkaline batteries (flashlight batteries) start out at 1.5 volts. To obtain higher voltage battery outputs the cells are wired in series and the voltages adds up. To obtain more current capacity cells are wired in parallel. These are nominal voltages the circuit drain causes the cell voltage to drop eventually the battery output is to low to power the application it is used in at which point it is considered dead. Even though there may still be some energy left in the battery. A good simple explanation of battery characteristics can be found at the first related link below. A more detailed and technical explanation can be found on Wikipedia at the second related link below.
