Best Answer

the positive piece on the first battery is connected to the negative piece on the next battery in the series and the negative pole from the first one is the negative you connect to the device you are powering and the positive pole on the very last battery in this series is the one you connect to the positive terminal on your device.

For dry cells(normal household AA sized or AAA sized cells); there is a negative (flat side) and positive(buttoned side). Connect the negative of first cell to positive of second cell. This is a Series connection.

Hope the question is answered...

Batteries are dc voltage sources.To get more and more amplitude of voltage i.e. to increase the voltage magnitude we connect batteries in series with each other.

To add more to your knowledge ; a transformer cannot be used to amplify a dc supply that's why we use series batteries.

to duplicate voltage,like if u have three batteries each battery was 6 volt and link them each other in series way like train u u will get 18 volts,,but if u put them together side by side like cars in park u will get 6 volt same of 1 battery but in return the Amp will increase,will be 3 double.....sorry about my English because i am Arabic person...thank u for reading my answer.

What is the purpose of the cell in batteries?

The cells are the individual units that provide voltage. In a battery, several of them are connected in series, to provide a higher voltage.


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.

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.
