Strictly speaking, your regular cylindrical D battery isn't a battery, but a cell.

A battery is when you string several cells together.

And cells and batteries always give DC - direct current.

So it doesn't matter how many you stack together, you won't get any AC, alternating current out of them anyhow.

Easiest way to 120VAC is probably to make a 12V battery out of eight D cells, and then run a 120V inverter from them.

Inverters are often used in cars, RVs and such to provide AC power from a DC source. Don't expect the battery to last very long though.

How many batteries will it take to make 120 volts?

It depends on the terminal voltage of the batteries, as different types of battery (or, more accurately, 'cell') have different terminal voltages. A car battery has Approx 12 V, so ten of them.

You are told to pack radio batteries in boxes Each box holds 24 batteries There are 108 batteries to pack If you pack full boxes how many batteries would be left over?

12 batteries because 24 fits into 96 and if you add it once more then it goes to 120 which is more than 108. 96 +12=108.

Can you hook up your Television Set running at 120 volts to 80 D batteries?

Your TV is running 120 V AC (Alternating Current) 80 D batteries will give you 120V DC (Direct Current) So the answer is NO.


Are rechargeable batteries worth the cost?

Rechargeable batteries are worth the cost. Let's do the math. A pack of 12 Duracell AA batteries cost around $10-$12. Meanwhile a 4 pack of Duracell AA rechargeable's and a charger is around $15 dollars. A rechargeable battery can usually be recharged 30-50 times. This means for three dollars more you basically get 120-200 batteries. Basic math shows that 120 batteries for $15 (rechargeable) than to pay $120 (non-rechargeable).

How do you wire 10 12 volt batteries to 120 volts?

To wire 10 12-volt batteries to achieve 120 volts, you need to connect them in a series configuration. Specifically, connect 10 batteries in series to produce a total of 120 volts (12 volts x 10 = 120 volts). Ensure that the positive terminal of one battery connects to the negative terminal of the next battery in the series. Finally, the output can be taken from the first battery's positive terminal and the last battery's negative terminal.
