Yes, and when in series the voltage doubles.

How many paths can electricity take in a parallel circuites have a battery and three light bulbs?
If each lamp is connected in parallel, then there are three 'paths' that draw current from the supply.
Chevy S10 won't turn over when it's cold no click no nothing you have checked and cleaned battery terminals and cables are tight on all ends once started it will turn over and start every time?
How cold is cold? If you are talking 0F or -15C or colder, your oil is congealing. You need an engine heater to turn your oil from lard back to oil so it will lubricate your engine. Otherwise, your battery might check out, however, it is not putting out quite enough amperage. You either have a cell in it about to die or you need a battery of higher amperage.
What if your friend says that when jump-starting a dead battery you should connect your live battery in parallel with the dead battery to replace the dead one do you agree?
That is correct, but using the term parallel is an overly confusing way of saying it. - You should connect positive to positive and negative to negative. This will retain voltage and increase capacity. If you confuse the term 'parallel' with 'serial' and connect them positive to negative and negative to positive, you'd double the voltage and probably kill most if not all of the electronics in both cars.
What happens if you use a larger car battery then recommended?
If the battery will physically fit there is no problem using a higher capacity battery. Of course the voltage remains 12 Volts but there will a higher amperage available for a longer time should it be needed. This could actually be an advantage if there is ever difficulty starting, there will be more starter cranking time before the battery runs down. Think of it as having a larger gas tank, the gas is the same but there is more if needed.
My 2005 Kia Sedona won't start the lights and radio play but it won't turn over. When you turn the key nothing happens Any suggestions?
See if the battery has water. Then see if it will jump with jumper cables. If it will start with jumper cables, your battery had enough amperage to make the lights work and the radio to play but not enough to start the car.
What happens to amperage in series and parallel circuits?
In series, Amperage remains constant. In parallel, Amperages are added.
In a parallel circuit does the battery run out very quickly?
No, it will run out just as much as if you put it in a series circuit. Parallel circuits involve the same voltage or amperage to go to each component.
What is the amperage of a 9.6v 1600 mah battery?
The amperage is governed by the load that is connected to the battery circuit. Divide that amperage into the 1.6 amp hours and that will give you the endurance of the battery in hours.
Can a 1500 mAh battery replace a 1600 mAh battery?
Yup......But only if u connect them in PARALLEL! Connecting them in parallel (e.g. the positive cap from Battery 1 is connected with the positive cap from battery 2.....the negative cap from battery 1 goes with negative cap from battery 2) adds the amperage (voltage remains the same).......Connecting them in SERIES (as in any flashlight the positive cap of battery 1 goes with the negative cap of battery 2 making a "bigger battery" that has the positive cap from battery 2 and negative cap from battery 1...) adds the voltage (the amperage is the same). Note: Use same batteries either parallel or series connection.
Will a motorized wheelchair battery power an electric bicycle?
Depends on the voltage and amperage of the battery vs. the voltage and amperage required of the bicycle.
How many amps are in a C battery?
The amperage drawn from a C cell battery is governed by the load resistance. The lower the resistive load the higher the amperage draw from the battery.
What is the amperage of a12 volt battery?
Depends on the battery. It varies greatly from a small battery to a large vehicle battery.
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.
How do you power up amp in 2002 dodge grand caravan?
If the battery is dead you will need a battery charger. If the battery is good and you have low amperage then you will need another alternator. Most parts stores will check it for you. If you are looking for MORE amperage then you would have to buy a larger amperage alternator.
Does amperage increase as the number of bulbs in a parallel circuit increase?
Yes.
Can you make a battery out of a battery?
well... chemically not unless you ripped it apart. however, if you want to customize your amperage or voltage, theres no need to go through all that work.there are systems of wiring called series and parallel. in series wiring, one battery acts as a booster for another adding the two voltages together.in parallel, the amperage of the individual batteries (which is a measure of the # of flowing electrons) are added together.for series wiring (add voltages) attach the positive end of one battery to the negative of the other. then hook the non-connected ends of each battery to your circuit. if you had 2 9V batteries, you now have 18 volts. if you had 10 1.5 volt batteries (like AAs) you now have 15 volts. however, this does not increase or decrease the ssystems' amperage. 10 2000mAh batteries in series still have only 2000mAhfor parallel wiring (add amperage) connect the positive lead on your circuit to BOTH POSITIVE ends of the battery. then connect the negative lead of the circuit to both negative terminals on the battery. now instead of having 2 batteries with 2000mAh and double voltage, they act as one battery with 4000mAh, but half the voltage.examples2- 1.5 volt 2000mAh batterieswhen wired in series- current of 3 volts and 2000mAhwhen wired in parallel- current of 1.5 volts and 4000mAh
Anything wrong with using a car battery that is half the amperage?
no
