Battery Precautions/Connecting Batteries

This is how to connect four batteries in Series:
Connecting batteries in "Series" means to connect the +'s
to the –'s and the –'s to the +'s. This combines the batteries'
voltages, but the capacity remains the same.
This is how to connect three batteries in Series:
Batteries of different voltages, but not different capacities
may also be connected in Series:
These are three 11.1V, 3200mAh batteries and
one 7.4V, 3200mAh battery. When joined in Series,
the result will be a 40.7V, 3200mAh battery.
