The familiar 1.5-volt zinc-carbon AAA, AA, C, and D cells, and the
familiar 1.2-volt alkalines in the same sizes, are each a single cell.
A 12 volt automotive battery has six cells.
By the number of cells. A 12 V battery should consist of 6 cells, each providing about 2 volts. A 12 V battery should consist of 6 cells.
A 6 volt wet battery has 3 cells. A 6 volt dry battery has 4 cells.
It depends on what the 6 cells are, but the battery voltage is just 6 times the cell voltage. In a car battery (lead-acid cells) - 12V In a dry-battery (zinc-carbon cells) - 9V
6 cells, each one 1.5 volts :D
AnswerAccording to WikiPedia (http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rechargeable_battery), the nominal cell voltage of a Lead Acid wet-cell battery is 2.1 volts, this implies there are 6 cells in a 12 volt Lead Acid wet-cell battery.
Depends on the number of cells, and the cell chemistry.
You cannot make a 6 volt battery into a 12 volt batter, but you can make a 12 volt battery out of two 6 volt batteries. Connect two 6 volts batteries together in series and you have 12 volts. Please define "in series".
6 @ 1.5v each The 9 volt battery is a true battery, containing six cells of 1.5 volts each. Most storage devices that we call batteries(i.e. D-cell, AA-cell, AAA-cell) are not batteries, but cells.
No! You need fewer cells for six volts. Most 9 volt batteries have six 1.5 volt cells, but a six volt battery has four 1.5 volt cells. In theory you could open the battery up and install a tap at the fourth cell, but that is pretty hard to do.
Measure the voltage at the battery posts with a volt meter. 6-volt batteries are generally approximately 10 inches in length, 7 inches in width and 11 to 17 inches in height. Or count the cells. A 6V car battery should consist of three sections AKA cells, while a 12V battery will consist of six sections. These are usually visible from outside, either throught the casting of the casing or sometimes even through the location of the filler caps.
A 9 volt battery is stronger than a 1.5 volt battery because it has a higher voltage. The higher voltage allows the 9 volt battery to power more demanding devices and last longer than a 1.5 volt battery.
