Series: Double the voltage of one of the batteries if they are the exact same size. Amps stay the same as one of the batteries.
Parellel:
Double the amps and voltage stays the same as one battery.

What happen to the amp hours of battery when connected in series?
The voltage will increase but the amperage will stay the same. For instance: Connect 2 12 volt 100 amp batteries in series and you will have 24 volts at 100 amps.
Do two 12 volt 100 amp hour batteries give me 200 amp hours at 24 volt?
No. If you connect two 12 volt batteries in series(positive to negative) to make 24 volts, you will have 100 amp hours. If you connect two 12 volt batteries in parallel(pos to pos, neg to neg) you will stay at 12 volts but have 200 amp hours
What is the difference between 12 volt 4 amp and 12 volt 5 amp battery?
The capacities of batteries are rated in amp hours. The higher the amp hour rating of a battery the longer the device connected to the battery will operate. Depending on what the connected load draw in amps is, will determine how long the connected device will operate.
Can you wire 12 volt agm but different amp hour batteries in series?
Yes, but know that when connected in series you will increase the voltage but the amps will stay the same as one battery. If you wire them in parallel you increase the amps but the voltage stays the same. Example: Connect two 12 volt batteries in series and you then have 24 volts with the same amperage as one battery. Connect two 12 volt batteries in parallel and you will have 12 volts but the amperage will double.
What produces more light series or parallel circuits?
A series circuit will produce more voltage. For example, two 12 volt automotive batteries both have a 600 amp capacity. Connect the 2 batteries in series and you will have 24 volts with 600 amp capacity. Connect the 2 batteries in parallel and you will have 12 volts with 1200 amp capacity.
Is it safe to interconnect 2 - 12 volt batteries together to keep them at 12 volts?
Yes, this is known as a parallel connection. When wired in this configuration you will get double the amp/hours out of the batteries over just using one battery. Batteries connected in series results in the voltages being additive. Batteries in parallel results in longer amp/hour capacity.
How many AMPS will a 10 AMP 12 volt charger charge a 36 volt three battery in series system with?
A 10 amp charge will only output 10 amps and 12 volts. So, if you want to charge thee 12 volt batteries hooked in series you will have to disconnect the positive cable from each battery and charge then individually. You cannot charge three 12 volt batteries hooked in series. That requires a 36 volt charger.
Two 12 volt batteries in series one has 4 amp's another has 4 amp's they are connected across a 2 ohm load the current flowing in the circuit is?
Volts = Current x Resistance. You have 24 Volts divided by 2 ohms and the draw will be 12 amps. Your batteries will fail quickly if not spectacularly.
How do you hook up 12 volts lights using 6 6 volt batteries?
Use a series parallel configuration. Two batteries in series to get the 12 volts. Three parallel banks of two batteries to get an increase of amp hours.
Which is better for trailer operation two six volt batteries in series or two 12 volt in parallel?
I would opt for the two twelve volt batteries in parallel. This configuration will give you the voltage that you need for the system to properly operate plus the endurance time that you can draw from the batteries will be doubled. The amp/hours capacity of batteries when in parallel are additive.
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?
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.
How do you hook 2 12 volt batteries to makw 24?
If you connect them in series the Voltage will double but the Amp Hour Capacity stays the same. Click the link.
