In a simple circuit, i know its generally wishy-washy, lantern, battery-operated, vitally... adjectives connected, but...?
I know i can join them adjectives together so i wont loose power but ive already done it the other way around and they are looking a bit dull, so i be just wondering if i be able to do this in need ruining the lights?....
Please dont post if you don't *know* because i really don't want to ruin these lights, ive worked so hard on my litttle minature christmas scene!
Thanks....
Answers: Sorry, the guy above have it wrong:
Batteries in parallel: the voltage does NOT run up. The voltage across the lights remains the same, but because you hold 2 batteries holding the voltage at that stratum, your lights will shine for twice as long before draining the mobile.
(This is why big batteries second for longer than smaller batteries, even though their Voltage is one and the same.)
Batteries in series: the first battery-operated raises the potential of the circuit by 1.5V, and the second by another 1.5V (or anything the Voltage of your battery is). Therefore the potential across your lights will be 3.0V. The current (Amperage) through the lights will increase, but simply as a result of the Voltage increasing. Since the resistance in the lights remains duplicate, the rule V=IR (voltage = current * resistance, more usefully written: I=V/R) means that the current through your lights will double, have the effect of either making the lights shine brighter, or blowing them!!
If you put your battery in series, later to protect your lights you need any a resistor in series near the lights (V=IR means that if both V and R increase by one and the same proportion, the current will remain constant and the lights remain at the same brightness), or a fuse (so that the fuse is of smaller Ampere than the lights, characterization that the fuse blows before the lights do).
However, it sounds to me as though what you own done is to put your lights in parallel (as capably as the batteries??). This would mingy that multiple sets of lights share the same voltage across the circuit, which is why they would appear a 'bit dull'. On the up side though, they will ending for a long time :-)
Does any of that make sense?
dont put more later one battery on it. battires surrounded by series current riases, battires in parrellel voltage raise. it deends on battery size and amount. but i would jus use a wall out plug close to i did, and alot of cords lol
battires in series AMPURAGE GOES UP
battires surrounded by parrerral VOLTAGE GOES UP
which means contained by seires more power, in parrellel more voltage, and a hiar more power.

Yes it will up the voltage because you connect it surrounded by series.
Try to connect it in paralel.
