Paralleling four sets of 6 volt batteries will still give you 6 volts. Two 6 volt batteries in series will give you 12 volts. Parallel these series sets will give you longer endurance at 12 volts. There is no way you will ever get 48 volts out of four 6 volt batteries.
Parallel or Series Connections for BatteriesTo increase current [measured in Amperes], you connect batteries in parallel. To increase voltage, you connect batteries in series.
Yes, series and parallel connection of batteries is possible. When connected in series Voltage increases. In parallel, Current increases but voltage is constant.
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.
No it will impose the voltage of the three series batteries across the terminals of the paralleled battery. Batteries can only be parallel when all of the voltage potentials are near equal.
Normally putting the batteries in series would have more effect.
In order to connect 4-6 volt batteries and end up with 12volts you will need to understand parallel and series connections. to connect two batteries in parallel you would connect the positive side of one battery to the positive side of the other battery; and the negative side of one battery to the negative of the other battery. doing this will not change the voltage. to connect in series you connect the positive of one battery to the negative of the other battery. doing this will increase the voltage;in this example you will end up with 12v. 6+6=12. when you stack batteries in a 2-cell flashlight that is connecting the batteries in series. The answer to the question is: connect two batteries in series; then connect the other two batteries in series. after this is done connect the two pairs of batteries in parallel. If you think of it visually you would have two batteries wide and two batteries tall.
Use a series parallel configuration. Two batteries in series to get the 12 volts. Three parallel banks of two batteries to get an increase of amp hours.

Connecting batteries in parallel increases the capacity (runtime) while maintaining the same voltage. Connecting batteries in series increases the voltage while maintaining the same capacity. Essentially, parallel increases energy storage, while series increases voltage output.
Two 6 volt batteries in series, yes. In parallel, no.
