@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.

@alyx @themilkman @VD15 I am not American, I just never managed to understand much physics, not to mention that it was many years ago I last had physics classes, so I've forgotten a lot of the little that I did learn.

@Jens_Rasmussen @VD15 @themilkman
Whatever nation you're from then, has a shit education. This is not something hard to teach or understand, and it's not something you just forget once you understand. Doesn't matter how long ago you last had physics classes. It's been as long since I had them too. And I'm not some physics major either.

@alyx @Jens_Rasmussen @VD15 @themilkman LISTEN HERE PAL
WHEREVER IT IS YOU ARE FROM, YOUR COUNTRY IS DOGSHIT
HERE, LEMME TELL YA
CAUSE I CAN TELL JUST BY LOOKIN AT YOUR WEAK, RERARDED, IMMORAL ASS
YOUR PEOPLE MUST HATE ALL VIRTUE AND LOVE OPEN SEWAGE, AND EAT EAT MEAT AS THEIR NATIONAL DELICACY
HUH
YEAH
I CAN TELL

@nugger @VD15 @Jens_Rasmussen @themilkman
Cool story bro.
