Will 3 12volt batteries wired in series provide the same results as 6 6volt batteries?

Depends on the amperage of the batteries you are using. Both setups will give you 36 volts, but you will normally have a longer run time with six 6 volt batteries in series than three 12 volt batteries. That is why Golf carts use 6 volt instead of 12 volt batteries.

How would you connect two 12volt batteries together to get 24volts?
Connect them in Series and you will get 24 volts but the amperage will be the same as 1 battery.
4 12volt batteries to make 24 volts?
2 batteries are wired in series then these 2 are wired in parallel with the other 2 which should also be wired in series. series is positive to negative and or negative to positive. parallel is pos. to pos. and neg. to neg.
How do you wire 12volt batteries up in series to maintain 12volts?
both Neg to body(ground), Pos to Pos .. keeps 12 volts, higher amperage -=TWiG=-
Can you operate a 12volt devise from 2 12 volt batteries hooked inseries?
NO. Absolutely not, you must hook them in parallel. Two 12 volt batteries hooked in series will give you 24 volts with the same A/H of one of the batteries. Hook them in parallel and you will still have 12 volts and double the A/H of one of the batteries.
Can you replace a 12volt alternator with a 24volt alternator?
You can if you plan to convert all of your electrical system, starter, lights, gauges and accessories to 24 also. And change your battery to 2 batteries connected in series. Why would you want to??
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.
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 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.
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.
Will an electromagnet be stronger with 2 batteries wired in series or parallel?
Normally putting the batteries in series would have more effect.
You want to take 25ams output you are having 16 Nos of 12V 8Ah batteries do you have to connect batteries in series of parallel connection?
Parallel or Series Connections for BatteriesTo increase current [measured in Amperes], you connect batteries in parallel. To increase voltage, you connect batteries in series.
