How to connect a battery in Parallel?

The positive terminal of the first battery is connected to the positive terminal of the second

battery, the positive terminal of the second is connected to the positive of the third, etc. and The

negative terminal of the first battery is connected to the negative terminal of the second battery,

the negative terminal of the second is connected to the negative of the third, etc. So the batteries

are connected: + to + to + and - to - to -. In this configuration, the capacity is the sum of the

capacities of the individual batteries and voltage is unchanged. For example, if you take 5 6V

10AH batteries and connect the batteries in series, you would end up with a battery array that is

30 Volts and 10AH. If you connect the batteries in parallel, you would end up with a battery

array that is 6 Volts and 50AH. By the way, this is how ordinary auto batteries are made. 6 2volt

cells are put in series to give 12v battery and the 6 cells are just enclosed in one case. Many ni-

cad batteries are done the same way.
