Yes, but know that when connected in series you will increase the voltage but the amps will stay the same as one battery. If you wire them in parallel you increase the amps but the voltage stays the same. Example: Connect two 12 volt batteries in series and you then have 24 volts with the same amperage as one battery. Connect two 12 volt batteries in parallel and you will have 12 volts but the amperage will double.

Do two 12 volt 100 amp hour batteries give me 200 amp hours at 24 volt?

No. If you connect two 12 volt batteries in series(positive to negative) to make 24 volts, you will have 100 amp hours. If you connect two 12 volt batteries in parallel(pos to pos, neg to neg) you will stay at 12 volts but have 200 amp hours


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.


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.


Hook two 6 volt batteries in series with different ampere hour ratings?

In general, it's a bad idea. * If you do, the available A/H will be that of the smallest battery. * If you try to charge them while they are in series with a 12V charger, you will undercharge the big one while overcharging the little one. * Since different sized batteries have different internal resistance, the smaller battery will work much harder to supply a given load, and it will fail prematurely. If you need to get 12V temporarily to test something or to try out a radio or whatever, go for it. Just dont plan to use such an arrangement long-term.


Can you wire two 6 volt batteries together maintaining 6 volts but wire a separate plug off the batteries in such a way as to have a single isolated 12 volt plug?

Yes, series the two batteries to produce 12 volts. Tap off of the two end terminals for the 12 volts. Tap off of the series jumper for the 6 volts of one of the batteries. The two 6 volt batteries can not be paralleled in this connection as they will short out.

Can 12 volt batteries with different amps be connected in series?

Yes


Is it practical to connect batteries of different emfs in series?

You can connect batteries with different voltages in series (a 6 volt and a 12 volt would give you 18 volts), but never in parallel (difference of potential will create an arc, batteries could blow up).


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.


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?

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?
