And how does this work out to amps. ? For the six batteries you mention to give 48 volts they would have to be wired in series, i.e. each one positive to negative, whereas in parallel (positive to positive and negative to negative) they would give you 12 volts, but the capacity would be the sum of the six batterys' capacities. The OP's suggested 8 volt batteries - if he connects them in parallel, they'll still give him 8 volts. Perhaps 3 x 8V = 24V? Evan Gatehouse |
