This is about the question I wanted answered; maybe I can point you in the right direction. The answer is more than the sum of 70 batteries as putting them in series increases the voltage and increases the total energy of the system. My question is where does the increase of energy actually come from?

What produces more light series or parallel circuits?

A series circuit will produce more voltage. For example, two 12 volt automotive batteries both have a 600 amp capacity. Connect the 2 batteries in series and you will have 24 volts with 600 amp capacity. Connect the 2 batteries in parallel and you will have 12 volts with 1200 amp capacity.


How much charge passes through a battery 22.5Volts if the energy expended is 90 Joules?

1 watt = 1 volt-ampere = 1 volt-coulomb per second = 1 joule per secondSo from this I learn out the fact that 1 volt-coulomb = 1 joule. This feels like somethingthat I probably used to know but forgot many years ago. Be that as it may, I'll use it.1 joule = 1 volt-coulomb90 joules = 90 volt-coulombs90 joules = 22.5 volts x (90/22.5 coulombs)90/22.5 = 4 coulombs


Can attaching 3 double a batteries together shock you so that you can feel it?

Depends on the volts and amps it's pushing. For instance. Connect three 12 volt car batteries in series and you will feel it. Three double A's however, no.


How is volt related to ohm and ampere?

1 ohm is the resistance of anything that measures 1 volt between its ends when 1 ampere of current flows through it.


Which will last longer eight 6 volt batteries or four 12 volt batteries?

That would depend on the capacity of the battery, usually measured in Amp-Hours (Ah). 4 12 volt batteries with a capacity of 10 Ah would last the same amount of time that 8 6 volt batteries of 10 Ah would last. There are however other factors that could contribute to the length of time they last, mostly to do with the construction of the cell and how much current it is designed to pass. 6 volt batteries are typically smaller in stature and as a result may not be able to produce large amounts of current as a 12 volt battery of the same current rating without getting hot...and heat = lost energy, unless it involves a toaster.

Can 6 volt batteries connected in series be jump started with a 12 volt battery?

Two 6 volt batteries in series, yes. In parallel, no.


Can you jump a 12 volt battery with two 6 volt batteries?

Yes, if the two 6 volt batteries were connected together in series.


How do you get 24 volts from 2 batteries not in series?

Two 24 volt batteries in parallel will give you 24 volts. The only other way is two 12 volt batteries in series.


If two 2-volt batteries are connected in a series how many volts are available to the circuit?

The formula you are looking for is Vt = V1 + V2.


Can you charge 2 6 volt batteries connected in a series as 12 volt?

Connected in series, yes.


How do you connect several 12 volt batteries to make 24 volt?

you only need two 12 volt batteries to make 24 volt. connect them in series


How do you create 12vdc without a car battery?

By connecting two 6 volt auto batteries in series. Or by connecting eight 1.5 volt batteries in series.


When you charge two 6 volt batteries in series is the charger switched to 6 or 12 volt position?

Two six volt batteries in series makes 12 volts so switch the charger to the 12 volt position.


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 do you get 24 volt power from a 12 volt battery?

use two 12 volt batteries in series.


Can you parallel 4 sets of 6 volt batteries to get 12volts at the same time having the same batteries in series for a 48 volt laod?

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.


Will wiring 2 batteries in series hurt your boat?

Depends on the battery size. If your boat is a 12 volt system and you wire two 12 volt batteries in series you then have 24 volts. If the batteries are 6 volt batteries you will be fine. If you have a 12 volt system on your boat and want to use two batteries then wire two 12 volt batteries in parallel. You will still have 12 volts but will have double the amperage available and this will extend the running time of the batteries.
