@VD15 Does this actually work?

@Jens_Rasmussen @VD15 12 volts is 12 volts

@themilkman @VD15 Yeah, but if you take multiple batteries of lower voltage and hook them together, does it actually increase the voltage? Don't you just get a bigger battery capacity?

@Jens_Rasmussen @themilkman
I'm constantly stunned of how bad the American school system is. How do you not know this? @VD15 already posted the answer. It all depends on whether you tie them together in parallel or serial. In the picture, you see that the batteries are attached in serial, thus increasing voltage. 8*1.5v=12v.
