This is a trick question correct right???
Is the question how many volts are four, 9 volt batteries or is it how many volts are in a 49 volt battery(if it exists)? Four nominally rated 9 volt batteries wired in series would yield about 36 volts while the same four wired in parallel would provide ~4 times more current or last about 4 times longer in the same circuit.
The battery rating shown on the battery is a nominal voltage the actual voltage output of the battery can be higher or lower.
First different technology batteries actually produce physically different output voltages. ie: a battery is made of cells and dependent on the type of chemistry the cell is made from the actual per cell output can very from 1.2 volts up.
Batteries made with Lead plates surrounded in Sulfuric Acid (typical car batteries) can produce 2.0 volts per cell (measured open circuit). Lap top Batteries can be about 3.6 - 3.7 volts per cell while alkaline batteries (flashlight batteries) start out at 1.5 volts. To obtain higher voltage battery outputs the cells are wired in series and the voltages adds up. To obtain more current capacity cells are wired in parallel.
These are nominal voltages the circuit drain causes the cell voltage to drop eventually the battery output is to low to power the application it is used in at which point it is considered dead. Even though there may still be some energy left in the battery.

What else can I help you with?
4 nine volt batteries are connected in parallel how much voltage is active across the circuit?
9 volts. They are in parallel, so the voltage remains the same. More current is available however.
Can 4 8 volt batteries replace 6 6 volt batteries?
yes
Can a 5.7 volt charger be used to charge 4 rechargeable AA batteries?
My understanding is 5.7volts is what your supposed to be charging 4 AA rechargeables ,wired in series, with... Due to loss of current through connectors and wires.. But i cant remember exactly what the voltage needed after the loss is? anyway.. hope that helps you a little
Is a sq 6 volt battery merely filled with AA batteries?
No. 4-AA batteries hooked together is a much smaller package than the 6 volt lantern battery.
Can a 0.9V 400MA solar panel be used to charge 2 AA batteries?
To charge a battery, the charger voltage must be higher than the battery voltage. If a AA battery (or any other) has a normal voltage of 1.2V the charger voltage must be at least 1.2V. The type of voltage supply and its current capability is immaterial. No, the charging voltage have to be larger than the battery voltage, to charge 2 AA batteries, that is 3 volt if connected in series, so a voltage of at least 4 volt is needed
A group of ten six and twelve volt batteries are wired in a series The Sum of their voltages is eighty-four volts How many of each type of battery are used?
A group of ten (10) batteries composed of 6 Volt and 12 Volt types will have six (6) each, 6 Volt and four (4) each 12 Volt batteries. The contributing voltages will be 6x6 and 12x4 for a total of 84 Volts.
Can you change eight 6 volt batteries for four 12 volts in a golf cart and is it worth it?
That would depend how they are connected. Are all Eight 6 volt batteries connected in series giving a total output voltage of 48V. Or are they connected with 2 sets of 4 batteries in parallel then connected in series to give a 24V output.
Are there any companies that make rechargeable 9 volt batteries?
Yes they do make 9 volt batteries that are rechargeable. There is the Energizer Recharge, NiMH and the HiTech brand carries 4 types of rechargeable 9 volt batteries.
How do you install 12 volt lights on 48 volt cart?
In order to install 12 volt lights on a 48 volt cart, you will need to use a voltage reducer to step down the voltage from 48 volts to 12 volts. This will allow the lights to operate properly without getting damaged. You can connect the lights to the 12 volt output of the voltage reducer and follow the wiring instructions provided with the reducer for proper installation. Be sure to follow all safety precautions and consult a professional if needed.
What is the voltage when batteries are connected in parallel?
When placing voltage sources in parallel, the total voltage is the same as the individual battery's voltages. For example: If I was to place 4 "AA" 1.5 volt batteries in parallel with a life of x hours, the out put would be 1.5 volts with a life of 4x hours. note: never place batteries in parallel that are not in the same condition (charge, voltage, ect...).
What size bulb for a 4 D cell batteries?
6 Volt
Four 9-volt batteries are connected in parallel how much voltage is active across the circuit?
Four 9v batteries connected in a parallel will still emit 9 volts because you are not increasing the voltage, you are increasing the life. To increase the voltage of four 9v batteries, you must connect them in a series; that series will emit 9v X 4(batteries), which equals 36 volts.
