Which will last longer eight 6 volt batteries or four 12 volt batteries?

That would depend on the capacity of the battery, usually measured in Amp-Hours (Ah). 4 12 volt batteries with a capacity of 10 Ah would last the same amount of time that 8 6 volt batteries of 10 Ah would last. There are however other factors that could contribute to the length of time they last, mostly to do with the construction of the cell and how much current it is designed to pass. 6 volt batteries are typically smaller in stature and as a result may not be able to produce large amounts of current as a 12 volt battery of the same current rating without getting hot...and heat = lost energy, unless it involves a toaster.

What is inside of expensive batteries last longer than cheaper batteries?
the most common non rechargeable battery is alkaline batteries. the more expensive batteries contain more lithium. the lithium batteries last a lot longer. you can also buy heavy duty batteries. although it sounds like they should last longer..they don't. heavy duty batteries are actually a step down from alkaline.
How many hours of charge can 600 mAh hold?
A 600 mAh battery can produce 75 mA for about 8 hours. If it is called upon to deliver 600 mA, it will last somewhat less than one hour. This is because ampere-hour ratings for batteries are, by standard agreement, normalized to an eight-hour rate. The actual rating is only a comparative rating, so you could properly say that a 900 mAh battery, for instance, will last 1.5 times longer than a 600 mAh battery.
What would happen if you added another battery to a simple circuit of two wires a battery and a bulb?
SERIES: A. If the additional battery is added to the circuit in a "Series Aiding" configuration, the bulb would get brighter. However, it would probably burn out very shortly, if not immediately, depending on the power rating of the bulb. Flashlight batteries such as two and three cell flashlights are usually series aiding. B. If the additional battery is added to the circuit in a "Series Opposing" configuration, the intensity of the bulb would decrease or go out completely if the opposing voltages are equal. (you can do a little experiment with a three or four cell flashlight by reversing the polarity of one or more of the batteries. The reversed battery will be series opposing and cancel 1.5 volts of the other batteries.) PARALLEL: If batteries are added to the circuit in parallel, the intensity of the bulb would remain the same but the batteries would last longer. Be sure the battery voltages are the same when adding batteries in parallel.
Which is better the 6600 mah or 4000 mah for the battery of a tablet?
The second one should roughly last twice as long as the first one. You can't really say how long as it depends what you are using the computer for, but whatever you are doing the second one will always last about twice as long.
Which battery last the longest is it DuracellEnergizerEveready or Rayovac?
yes it does i have done a experiment and energizer last longer that duracell
How can you make a digital camera's batteries last longer?
If you want any batteries to last longer then put the batteries in your fridge and that helps them to last longer!!
Do frozen batteries work longer then unfrozen batteries?
Frozen batteries last longer unfrozen batteries.
Does double A batteries last longer than triple A batteries?
they are bigger
What kind of batteries last longer?

Will alkaline batteries last longer cold?
No, batteries should be stored at room temperature and extreme temperatures reduce performance. They do last longer for about 5%. And if there alkaline batteries, room temperature does just as well.
I've heard that storing batteries in your fridge makes them last longer- is that true?
Storing batteries in a fridge or freezer does not make them last longer, it's just a myth.
How much longer do lithium batteries last than normal ones?
Lithium batteries can last one and-a-half to two times as long as NiMH batteries.
What makes lithium ion batteries better?
Lithium ion batteries are supposed to last longer than nickel batteries. They do not lose charge for up to 10 years in their packaging, and they last longer while in use as well.
Why does a wet battery last longer?
The question is predicated on a foundationless premise; wet batteries do not necessarily last longer.
Do lithium batteries last longer in Rc cars?
maybe
Why are lithium batteries more expensive than alkaline batteries?
They last longer and work more quickly
