| Nov 5, 2015 at 12:53 | comment | added | Darrick | No just that there are 12 of the 6 volt batteries. That I made into 6 of the 12 volt batteries, Running + to - . | |

| Nov 5, 2015 at 12:50 | comment | added | Darrick | (12) 6v batteries to make, (6) 12v batteries. | |
| Nov 5, 2015 at 12:50 | comment | added | Wouter van Ooijen | Now it confuses me even more. Better draw a diagram of what is in parallel en what is in series. For me a cell is the 2V part of a battery, so your using of the word confuses me. And the second sentence has 12 batteries of 6V 12AH each. If you put those in 6 parallel pairs of 2 you get a 12V, 72 AH combo, not 144 AH. Remember: parallel adds the AH, series adds the V. | |
| Nov 5, 2015 at 12:47 | comment | added | user16324 | No. For a start, a battery is made of cells, not vice-versa. Then, if you wire 12 6V 12Ah batteries in parallel you would have a 6V 144Ah bank. 6 of those wouldn't give you a 12V 144Ah bank unless you kept 4 as spares. So I still don't understand. | |
