(published on ) Follow-Up #1: Batteries in series vs. So if you have 2 D batteries in series, you have 3 volts. If you needs lots of current and try to get it from a tiny battery, it won't work as well.Īs for adding them together, you'll notice that in most electronics, you put them in so that the positive end of one touched the negative of the other. The D cell batteries can give more current than the C batteries.
Some electronics need lots more current but don't need more voltage. And current is like the amount of water flowing down the pipe. The voltage is like the water pressure which pushes things down the pipe. The classical way you hear them talked about is by comparing them to a pipe with water in it.
In an electrical circuit or device, there are 2 really important things. But there is a big difference between them all. They are especially useful for low-to-medium-drain electronic devices. These D batteries feature a very long battery life and can be stored for up to 10 years while holding their power. If they're the same voltage, why not just use all AAA batteries and make things lighter and smaller.
