FAQs:

Why would I want to hook up 4 12-volt batteries in series? Hooking up batteries in series increases the voltage of the connection. This can be useful for powering devices that require more voltage than a single battery can provide.
What is the difference between hooking up batteries in series and parallel? Hooking up batteries in series increases the voltage of the connection, while hooking up batteries in parallel increases the amperage of the connection.
