When batteries are connected in parallel, the voltage across each battery remains the same. For instance, if two 6-volt batteries are connected in parallel, the total voltage across the batteries would still be 6 volts. Effects of Parallel Connections on Current
The parallel-connected batteries are capable of delivering more current than the series-connected batteries but the current actually delivered will depend on the applied voltage and load resistance. You understand Ohm's Law, but the "parallel batteries supply more current" statement should really be "parallel batteries CAN supply more current".
Although it is never advisable to connect two non identical batteries in parallel because it does not make any sense it is useless and may destroy the batteries. In short, when two non-identical batteries are connected in parallel, current will flow from higher voltage battery to lower voltage battery. Which is not good.
Current in Series stays the same or is added but in a parallel connection current is split using current division. So what's happening is in series all the current is being pulled at once whereas in parallel the current is being "split" while being pulled hence it will also make the battery last longer. No it does not.
Let's consider a simple example with two batteries connected in series. Battery A has a voltage of 6 volts and a current of 2 amps, while Battery B also has a voltage of 6 volts and a current of 2 amps. When connected in series, the total voltage would be 12 volts, and the total current would remain at 2 amps.
( : You should not connect different batteries in parallel. If you do, the battery with the highest voltage will discharge into the other one, until they end up with equal voltages. If the second battery (the lower voltage one) is a rechargeable, then it will be charged by the first one, again until the two have the same voltage.
