How Do You Connect 6V Batteries In A Series?
Voltage sources can be arranged in a series circuit to increase the voltage differential in that circuit. Batteries, for example, are often arranged in series by electrically connecting the negative pole on each battery to the positive pole of the subsequent battery. The total voltage differential created by connecting batteries in such a manner is the sum of each battery voltage differential. Two 6-volt batteries may be connected in a series circuit to make a larger 12-volt battery pack. This is accomplished by connecting the negative pole of the first battery to the positive pole on the second. Cut a length of wire, and strip 1/2 inch of insulation from each end. Loosen the top bolts of the battery terminal connectors. Insert one end of the wire into the hole created by loosening the bolts on the first battery terminal connector. Tighten the top bolts, ensuring that the stripped wire end makes contact with the metal connector. Insert the remaining end of the wire into the hole create
