Hi guys.
I have a question about battery and voltage. Please correct me if i am wrong.
If you add two batteries in a series, you double the voltage and Ah ?
lets take an example
if i add two batteries each rated at 6 volts 12 Ah that means that I am doubling the voltage output as well as the Ah
is the above correct?
thanks. :)
rutman: NO..... the voltage is doubled BUT the AH stays the same... so the end result in your example would be 12 Volts @ 12 AH electricitym

If you want to double the voltage AND the Ah, it'll take four batteries: two sets of two, each set having the battereries in series (as you described), and the two sets together in parallel.
thanks everyone!!!!!

Not a good idea at all, unless diodes are used.
Hi...
Not unless you've invented free energy :) :)
You'll have 12 volts 12 amps.

Wrong!
No, its 12 V @ 12AH

Amp-hours is not equal to amperage.

No, its 12 V @ 12Ah
And it's it's; not "its"
