Dumb battery question

[davids0865]

OK, stands back for mickeytake........but:

does 2 X 6v 260ah batteries in series give 1 X 520ah 12v?

TIA

12v and 260ah.

No

In series will double the volts but not change the amps

In parallel will double the capacity (Ahrs) but not the volts

Good luck

Thanks to both, thought the plan was too good to be true
