In parallel no, the voltage is the same the amps double. If hooked up in series the voltage would double and then the charging system would need to be changed.

If batteries are wired in a series-parallel configuration?

You get more voltage and current capacity.


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.


How are batteries connected together to obtain more current capacity?

A way of connecting batteries together to provide more current is to connect them in parallel. This allows more capacity at the same voltage. If the batteries were connected in series the voltage would be increased.


Does batteries connected in parallel increase the current capacity to the circuit?

If each battery is identical, yes.


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.


Is an battier isolater needed for 2 auto 12volt if in parallel?

Not if both batteries are of similar capacity and fully charged.


How can you wire 4-12 VDC batteries together to get 24 VDC out of them?

You would connect two 12-v batteries in series to get 24 Volts, but if you have four, you can connect two sets of batteries in parallel and then connect the two sets of parallel batteries in series, giving you 24 volts with twice the ampere-hour capacity (four batteries rather than two).


How do you connect 2 6 volt batteries in parallel to make 12 volts?

If you connect 2 six volt batteries in parallel it will still give you six volts but it will give you twice the cranking power. To obtain twelve volts from the two six volt batteries they will have to be connected in series.


What is parallel car battery wiring?

parallel battery wiring is hooking 2 batteries together in parallel series give you double the volts Clarification: Parallel battery wiring is where two or more batteries are hooked together in parallel (i.e. both/all positive battery terminals are wiredtogether, and both/all negative battery terminals are wired together. This results in a battery voltage which is the same as that of the individual batteries (typically 12V in most cars). The reason for doing this is to boost battery capacity- two identical batteries wired in parallel give twice the electical storage capacity of one battery. No increase in voltage is obtained with parallel wiring. Series wiring is where two or more batteries are hooked together in series (i.e. positive terminal of the first battery is hooked to the negative terminal of the second battery). The resulting voltage is the sum of the individual battery voltages - if two 12V batteries are hooked together, the resulting voltage will be 24V. No increase of storage capacity is obtained with series wiring.


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.


If you connect 2 12 volt batteries in parallel?

You will have a 12 Volt source with double the charge capacity.


Would two AA batteries in parallel do as much work as one D battery?

Both AA and D batteries are 1½ volts. A D battery is used where more current is required - it can deliver more power for longer. For typical batteries with alkaline chemistry: The typical capacity of a D battery is 12000 to 18000 mAh. The typical capacity of an AA battery is 1200 to 2500 mAh. Two AA batteries in parallel will supply twice their current rating, about 2400 to 5000 mAh. You would need 8 to 10 AA batteries in parallel to supply the current of a D battery.
